Isn't it called "Family Guy"? Ha ha, sorry Juan;)
I have no colored or handicapped friends. Otherwise its pretty accurate.
Replace Cleveland with a drunken farmer, and Joe with an elderly outfitter, and a liberal dog with a queer GSP we are in twinsville.

Chapter titles will allow you to make up your own stories:

1. Hunted in MT for 2 weeks and all I got was a deer in ND with my truck.

2. Honda Accords, deep snow, gravel, and high speed do not mix well.

3. Assuming everyone is unhurt, when you roll a vehicle and one of you catches a ride back to town with a nice old couple, you can indeed continue hunting with a fresh vehicle.

4. The next time you are scheduled to go hunting with the guy who rolled the truck, showing up in the pre-dawn darkness with a hockey helmet on is a BAD idea.

5. Winchester 1400's appear to create their own lift when chucked like a helicopter 'cause no 12yr old on the planet can actually throw one that far.

6. The abandoned firearm on the approach via doggie distraction.

7. A shotgun blast can indeed fool the impact sensor into shutting down power to the fuel pump.

8. When you're elder steps out of the vehicle, slips on the ice and breaks his rifle stock completely in half, it's not funny.

9. A 150HP motor doesn't have enough "traction" in reverse to pull a boat off a trailer when the straps are still on, though it WILL float the trailer.

10. A 150HP motor doesn't have enough "traction" in reverse to pull a boat off a trailer when only 1 of the straps is still hooked up.

11. Zip ties in the fall make hooking up boat electronics in the spring a far less eventful fair.

12. 3/4Mi of Headlight deep powder-snow @ full-throttle/boost will fill up the intake airbox of a 6.7L Ford Diesel.

13. Pillow-drifts will ice up the bottom pulley of a mid-90's 5.0L F-150 and throw the serpentine belt off disabling power steering among other things.

14. Large whitetails, hangovers, too much caffeine, long runs through the CRP, improper variable scope power settings, and atrial fibrillation. It can happen to you.

15. Aggressive flushing dogs that won't flush that pesky stubborn wiley old rooster out of cattails, tree row brush piles, or overgrown fence lines actually can tell the difference between pheasants and raccoons, and porcupines.

I was merely a passenger and no firearms were involved so it doesn't really qualify, but watching a 40 yo infant attempt to dispatch a 30 lb angry raccoon in a corn stubble field with a grain shovel still has over 20 minutes of humorous qualities.

No story but I have one of those buckets and they are pretty sweet. Wife surprised me with it for Christmas

Lots of dumb stuff has happened to me in the last 50 years but this fall I may have taken the cake.

Four of us were pheasant hunting out in western North Dakota during the second weekend of the season. It was blowing about 25 mph and the birds were holding tight. We decided to work a small 15 acre field that had produced in the past. So we drove up to the downwind corner of the field and got the dogs out. Less than 50 feet from the truck my dog stopped and threw her nose up. Sure sign that birds are nearby. We all have hunted with Pepper enough to know that it was time to be ready. 100 yards later she slams on point. Sure enough a rooster gets up and I shoot it. Next thing you know birds are getting up all over. Pepper takes off after the downed bird when she goes on point again and the guns are going off. So I figured that I had better head towards the downed bird. Well I waded through some thick cover and all or a sudden I step on something that feels very soft and alive. I looked down and saw lots of black and white. I swear that I haven't moved that fast in 20 years. But of course I got sprayed real good. Luckily the wind was blowing most of the smell away.

I rode back to the ranch in a T-shirt and my shorts. Everything else was in the back of the truck.

I was excited to get out to my tree stand on a nice evening back in November. I hadn't been out since before rifle season so I had a bunch of stuff to gather up to get ready to go. Everything in the truck and off I go. I get to my area and start getting my pack ready to go. Get everything together and go to grab my bow.....wait, where the heck is my Bow? Yup, sitting on the floor in the garage. No hunting for me that night?

I once went duck hunting on Patterson whilst in college. In a canoe. With my fiance - who it turns out was the devil.

But I digress.

It was foggy - nothing was flying. Started paddling back to shore. Came around a corner of cattails and there were some mallards bobbing around in the chop.

I unloaded on someone's inflatable decoys. Heard hissing sounds. Got bitched out something fierce. Went home feeling pretty shmuckish.

The end. :cool:

I laughed my ass off when I read this.
