Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Worst Stuck

Similar thing happened here with a guy and his nanny at a strip joint. Both were hammered but she was driving and got stuck on a curb. There was fresh snow and he fell and she drove over his head with the Suburban... She was convicted of something but I do not remember exactly what it was.

He left behind a seriously disabled child that the nanny had been hired to take care of... Ugly situation all the way around...

The worst stuck lasted for about 2 months back in 2011, snow then mud. Same deal this past Spring with the mud.

It gets very depressing getting stuck everyday just trying to get your job done.

Not as depressing as getting run over though.

All of this just confirms my belief that 4wd is short hand for getting stuck further off the road.

WOW! No fair including death/dismemberment stories! Those are simply tragic, though serve as excellent reminders to always be careful.

My 1st bad "stuck" was after an ice storm in late fall 1983 driving to college. The road was through a very open area and wind always created huge snow drifts and helped polish the ice on the road.

I was driving slow (~25mph) and suddenly lifted my foot off the accelerator of my 1973 AMC Hornet "Sportabout" rear-wheel-drive-only station wagon. I had a couple hundred pounds of weight in the back, but when I let off the accelerator it was the same as if I had locked up the brakes. I started swerving/fish-tailing and despite steering into the swerve, my car started end-for-end spinning - right into the 4ft ditch alongside the road. As I came to stop, I felt the car start to roll onto it's side thinking it was going to roll all the way over onto the roof, but thankfully it stopped.

I pushed the passenger door open, climbed out and walked to the nearby farm (who knew me) and using their 4x wheel drive Case tractor (with dualies all around), was out in 15 minutes. There was no damage to my car at all - drivers door opened fine and the car ran perfectly as usual.

This wasn't me thankfully...

Have seen too many yahoos that think driving on the beach at low tide is safe. I have launched a boat this way many times by utilizing worn tires and airing down to 12#. Yet, I do indeed have a winch on my front bumper for emergencies. Now, the way to use a winch in soft sand requires the use of a big fluked anchor that has saved my bacon to keep salt water out of my truck. But, I will say that I got stuck in a pile of schit, yes a cow schit pile, one time deer hunting late Dec. when everything seemed to be frozen solid. Not cow schit as it makes its' own heat and will stay juicy soft. Got my truck out but stunk to high heaven. MTG
