I was deer hunting in SE Wisconsin (Vernon County) one year on some public land that abutted my buddy's dad's place.

I was still hunting a draw when I came upon a 'hunter' leaning against a tree. At first I thought he was asleep. Then I noticed the empty brandy bottle at his feet.

Here he was passed out drunk with a rifle in his hand, finger on the trigger, safety in the "OFF" position. I made sure I was behind him, and tried to gently wake him. No luck. Then I got more agressive and started to shout at him. Nothing.

So I took the rifle out of his hands and checked it. Sure as hell, there was a round in the chamber. It was a nice rifle, btw, a Weatherby in 7MM Mag.

Yea, I thought about it, but a stolen firearm is a Felony.

So I did the next best thing. I unloaded the rifle and put the cartridges right next to Sleeping Beauty. Then I put the barrel in the crook of a tree, grabbed the stock, and pulled really really hard.

I managed to bend the barrel nearly 45 degrees.

Then I gently laid the rifle in his lap and walked quietly away.

I would have paid good money to see the look on his face when he finally woke up.
