Title: Gun Shot
Post by flamingdragon on Nov 28^th, 2006, 4:46pm

A hunter aimed his gun carefully and fired. Seconds later, he realized his mistake. Minutes later, he was dead. Why?

Hunter was stupid: [hide]He had held his gun backwards and blown a hole through his own shoulder. When he picked himself up a few seconds later, he realized what he had done, only to bleed to death minutes later.[/hide]

Hunter wasn't stupid: [hide]He was hunting the yeti.[/hide]

Check the second one again. Think big, like where the yeti lives. I'm pretty sure it's right.

Yes I do. And yetis. I do believe that is the politically correct term. Sorry to any yetis, snow monsters, or Bumbles I may have offended out there.

[hide]Shot at another hunter[/hide]?

At first I was thinking that his gun had frozen or something, and so it had exploded, and he bled to death. But that wouldn't take seconds to realize, he'd know it right away.

I'd prefer an answer like he had accidentally loaded blanks, and made whatever he was shooting mad enough to attack him.

Or I just realized that he probably didn't watch enough Colorado hockey.

He didn't shoot another hunter, and not the one's scott posted. You guys gonna let only foxtrot know the answer?

Based on his clues, I assume it's [hide]avalanche season[/hide]. Though this would contradict WTF's statement that the hunter wasn't stupid.

Post by flamingdragon on Nov 28^th, 2006, 7:26pm

LMAO, that would be the right answer.

Well, not relatively stupid I should say. At least his gun wasn't pointed the wrong way. :o

so the colorado hockey thing didn't ring any bells with you, eh?

Title: Re: Gun Shot
Post by flamingdragon on Nov 30^th, 2006, 11:03am

Well, I don't know what the Colorado hockey thing is...

Title: Re: Gun Shot
Post by TheNumberScott on Nov 30^th, 2006, 5:52pm

try googling the phrase "colorado hockey" and see what happens.

Kind of an ridiculous name don't you think? Dragon, you should be able to understand what these hints are alluding to; you already know the answer! Especially since I yelled it during the last yeti hunt.

What are u talking about, I have never heard about anything related to Colorado Hockey, I know it's cold, but that's it. That could be what he's talking about but thats not all that much of an acomplishment after the yeti hunt u went on.

Look up the name of Denver's professional hockey team.
