This duck hunting protester in Australia was wading through a duck hunt in order to save hit ducks. She was then accidentally shot in the face.
A duck protestor in Australia was wading through a duck hunt attempting to “save” the ducks that were shot down.
A shot at a low-flying duck resulted in her accidental shooting.
Back in March of 2011, these bold anti-hunters decided to interfere in a duck hunt in Australia.
A 14-year-old duck hunter took a shot at a low-flying duck and shotgun pellets hit this anti-hunter in the face. Julia Symons was hit by at least seven shotgun pellets.
Around 150 protesters with the Coalition Against Duck Hunting were out to interfere with the legal duck hunt and “rescue” shot ducks. The woman who was shot was wading in waist-deep water at the time of the accident.
No charges were filed in this case.
when you see someone with a gun, try not to stand at the end where the little round hole is......
She just couldn’t get past third grade choir:
Be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody’s mother,
She lives on the edge of a swamp
Where the weather is always damp.
You may think that this is the end,
Well it is, but to prove we’re all liars,
We’re going to sing it again,
Only this time we’ll sing a little higher.
Today’s word is DUCK.
I’ve just had it up to here with the stupidity out there. Bright side- At least she saved about 7 ducks.
ROFLALALALMAO!!!!!!
I’m so loving this thread!
Was it Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, or Quack?
The timeline as given by the writer is a bit confusing, but I gather they started their campaign in 2011 and it took this long for one of them to catch a face full of birdshot...then again, it wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong about something.
I do feel bad for the kid though...
And got a kick out of the old bird saying they’d “give their lives” or some such to save the ducks. What heroes!/s
While hunting blue quail years ago one in our party accidentally shot his friend since boyhood in the back. After a brief check of his back, we found 11 shots embedded. We and he just kept on hunting.
We were in West Texas so help was a hundred miles away.
One in our party was a pediatric opthamoligists. That night, by lantern light, he picked em all out, poured methiolate on each one, and that was that.
This woman is lucky. At a minimum, shot in the face, she could have lost an eye or two. All her fault though! She had no business being there!
I hunted with a guy who peppered his dog, a Brittany, with birdshot if it ranged too far. Once was enough for me.
Honey, I forgot the Duck!
He did yell duck....
Someone probably yelled ‘duck’.
So simple, yet super funny.
OK, sounds reasonable. It seems amazing to me that it took this long for one of them to get hit. When I think of all the precautions we take to make sure that no one is down range at our gun club; maybe we could get special permission for a few of them to change out our targets while the range is still hot. It would sure save a lot of time. They would have the satisfaction of knowing that while they were keeping us entertained dodging bullets that no animals were being harmed. But the fun would probably only last until one of them got nicked.
