Quacks on the Water

Quacks on the Water

Anti-hunters in Washington state attempted to disrupt the waterfowl season opener at the Crescent Lake Wildlife Area south of Monroe last October. They brought along a seven-foot-tall yellow duck decoy, clarinets and shotguns—which they fired in a steady barrage—to prevent legitimate hunters from taking any ducks. Did their plan work? Not exactly. Migrating ducks hadn’t shown yet because of the mild weather and neither had the duck hunters. The antis did, however, put on a magnificent display of unsafe gun handling by peppering a number of pheasant hunters in a nearby field with shot.

As for looking like fools: Mission accomplished.

I don't know who created the Above Banner for FR Lists, but I hope they don't mind that I stole it!

I hope they were arrested, but I bet they weren't. I bet none of them had hunting licenses. Expensive fines could have been levied. "Just because I was in a wetland with a shotgun during duck season doesn't mean I was hunting officer" "tell it to the judge, son."

Thanks Bakhoe, I guess we are all thieves in our own way!

Thanks Seamole too, since it appears that I indirectly stole their html also!

The Bump List banners are a nice touch!

GOOD POINT!

I knew they must have broken some law! Too bad they weren't arrested!
