Message: [QUOTE="CONN78SEJ, post: 5280184, member: 10604"] The true story about Mantle taking Martin hunting for the first time in upstate New York on a farmer friends spread is a classic. They drive upstate to the farmers place, and it’s late, about 9pm. They pull in and Mantle says to Billy “wait here I’ll walk up and tell him we’re here”. Mantle rings the doorbell and they exchanged pleasantries but the farmer asks Mantle to do him a favor, the farmer had a sick horse that’s on it’s last legs and is in some pain, he asks Mantle to go up to the barn and put the horse out of it’s misery, the farmer doesn’t have the heart to do it himself. So Mantle goes back to the car to get his rifle, and says to Martin….”that SOB farmer just told me we can’t hunt because the neighbors are complaining, well I’ll show him”……so Mantle goes up to the barn and shoots the horse “boom” “boom”. As he’s walking back to the farmers front door to tell him the deed is in done, he hear’s “boom boom boom boom” and he sees Martin running back to the car. Martin says “let’s get outta here I just shot two of his cows too.” Mantle of course paid the farmer for the mistake. Lol [/QUOTE]
