Investigators are trying to find a snowmobiler who ran over and killed 57 mallard ducks on a river near Fond du Lac.
The ducks were killed Tuesday and found in a hole in the ice and on both sides of it in the Fond du Lac River, the Department of Natural Resources reported.
It appears a single snowmobiler performed two passes of water skipping over the ice hole and hit the ducks, said George Protogere, warden supervisor.
The incident comes amid outrage over another thrill killing near Waupaca. A group of snowmobilers herded and ran over five deer last weekend. Four were killed, and one was euthanized.

What about the geese that killed an airplane???

Wouldn’t running over deer, and ducks around a water hole, with your snowmobile be potential Darwin award activities? The first because a 200 lb. deer hitting you in the face can’t be all that good for even a tiny little pinhead brain. The second, because of thin ice.
