Doc Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 What is the funniest practical joke that you have pulled on your hunting partners? Back in the late 80's, four of us went up to Canada to hunt for moose. We went about 40 miles back in on a little dirt road, loaded our canoes and a 10' motor boat into a lake and went to the end of that lake. We portaged about 150 yards into another lake and then went to the end of that lake to set up camp. We were back in there at a very remote location that none of us had been to ever before. It was a very dense, dark and almost scary place. I had packed one very special item in my sleeping bag. It was a small portable tape recorder/player. We used to have a dog that liked to play tug-of-war with an old sock and all the while she was doing this, she would be making the most vicious and scary growling noise you ever wanted to hear. I taped about 15 minutes of her growling noises and took the tape along with us. During the first night, I snuck the tape player out into the woods and turned it on. I had put about a 15 minute leader on the tape so that I could get back to the campfire and everyone would forget I was even out there. All of a sudden it started playing and the effect was perfect. There we were, all sitting around the fire in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden this horrific and loud growling and snarling started up. There was a mad scramble for bows and knives and any other weapon that everybody could lay their hands on. Finally after a lot of panicked discussion, I announced that I would go out and slay this intruder. One other guy went with me and the other two trailed along (quite a ways back). Finally we completed the stalk of the tape recorder and I victoriously picked up the wild beast and declared, "I got it!". Well when they all saw what was going on, there was a lot of serious talk about throwing me in the lake. The guys still remember that trick and fortunately are still laughing at it. Any of you other guys ever pull a fast one on your hunting buddies? Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Re: Funniest Hunting Practical Joke That's hilarious Doc! Just be glad they didn't throw you in the lake. I haven't pulled any practical jokes on any of my hunting buddies but I'll definitely be thinking now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
