A PROTESTER has been shot in the face just hours after the opening of the controversial duck hunting season this morning.
Protester Julia Symons of Melburne suffered pellet injuries to her face, teeth and hand in a accidental shooting at Lake Buloke, 12km east of Donald in Victoria's west.
Witnesses say Ms Symons, aged in her 20s, was waist-deep in water when she was shot by the hunter, believed to be aiming at a low-flying bird.
Ms Symons was conscious when she was carried from the water by fellow protesters of a duck rescue group.
They said she still had pellets lodged in her face, and one of her teeth had been shot out.
She was taken to Horsham Hosptial where she is in a stable condition.

Oops.
Going to be a lawsuit?
That was foul, she should duck.
Hey Julia, next time, be sure to DUCK!
Protesting’s just not what it’s quacked up to be.
Protester season.
No.
Duck hunting season.
Some people try for the “suicide by cop” method. An alternative approach, though more rare, is the “suicide by duck hunter” method. But it looks like she didn’t get it quite right.
all duck hunters know:
Dont shoot the deeks !!!
I hope she has AFLAC. She’s probably gonna be outta work for a while.
Rachel Corrie’s got some competition.
Glad to see that VP Cheney is back in the great outdoors and obviously is feeling better!
Some stories just write themselves.....
She makes Daffy Duck look like a Ph.D.!
Good thing there are no ballistics traces on shotgun pellets.
Before the swim.
“Witnesses say Ms Symons, aged in her 20s, was waist-deep in water when she was shot by the hunter, believed to be aiming at a low-flying bird.”
Perhaps she’ll learn not to give (armed) duck hunters the finger again.
The Peta people and the animals rights nuts will get all quacked up over this one.
If the protester had been dressed in that outfit and looked anything vaguely like this chicky, I guarantee that she would not have been shot!
