A couple of years ago I shot a little doe, my brother-in-law and I were carrying it out hanging from a log over our shoulders. We both had climbers on our back and had to go about a mile and a half to our trucks. A couple hundred yards later we met up with two friends of ours coming out on the same trail. They offered to carry our M/L's. As we were walking down the main dirt road, about to p [no swearing please] the lake we reminded each other about the washout on the road(it was dark). The washout was about 3 feet deep and took up 3/4 of the road. Brian made it by, well Paulie stepped on the edge and the mud gave way. In he went. The only thing sticking out was his climber. Mike, my brother-in-law, reached down to help him, and the log got caught up in his stand. He couldn't grab him. Paulie rolled over a little, just enough so mike could grab him and pull him out. He was under water for at least 20-30 seconds. It was also early January so it was a little cold. He just started stripping clothes, the he had to run about 2-3 hundred yards to get to the trucks. Well, Brian took paulie's black diamond and put about 6 caps in a row and it still would shoot. I put one cap in My Omega and boom, no hesitation at all. We couldn't believe it. Well, other than a little embarrased, Paulie wound up fine. He definetly will never hear the end of it. [hihi]
