This story has to be made up. This has to be one of those stories they keep archived and ready to go live with on a slow news day. It’s possible this is even one of those stories they buy from a content provider and just plug “locals” names into; I’m not convinced you could find people this dumb interesting south of Highway 10. Because if this actually - and that’s a huge if - happened, it would be the strangest story to come out of a Wisconsin county other than Sheboygan in quite some time:
“When they came up they said to me, ‘Well, guess what we shot?’ And I’m thinking duck. And he goes, ‘No, think bigger,’ ” Herb Sagan said. “And I’m thinking you idiots didn’t shoot a deer. I was like I’m going to smack you if you did. And he goes, ‘No, no, think teeth.’ I’m like OK, you shot a coyote. ‘No.’ A wolf? And he goes, ‘Think Louisiana,’ and I’m like, snake? He goes ‘No, we shot a gator,’ and I said BS.”
Someone at the Journal/Sentinel got paid to write this paragraph. Wow. That’s almost as unbelievable as the story itself.
On a day when it was announced that troop and civilian casualties in Iraq are at their lowest in 15 months, and the DJIA closed at another record high, this is what the J/S believes to be news. Go figure.
