- I was reading in the local paper and came across a story that
- might hold some interest (and entertainment value) here.
- Appearantly two friends were duck hunting somewhere on the
- Benson Marina ( Wetlands here where the Bear River and Logan River
- join). Hunter "A" shot himself a duck, dropping it out in the
- reeds/marsh, surrounded by water. "No Problem!" he probably thought
- and proceeded to work towards the duck. He was wearing hip waders,
- but the water/mud depth was pushing them to their limits. It was at
- this inappropriate time that the mud came alive and seized him,
- holding both boots fast. "(Fill these quotes with your own
- appropriate foul language)"
- He called for his friend, who immediately came to try and
- help. It's kind of like having someone fall through the ice, you
- can't just walk out there and get them, unless you want to share in
- their experience. So hunter B decides to go for help. He flagged
- down a ride to a house where he called the police. (A True Friend
- would have called the local paper first, thinking of this marvelous
- photo oppertunity) Anyway, 3 1/2 hours later Hunter A was pulled from
- the mud. If I read correctly, his boots are still standing there,
- preparing to become a fossil for future generations to discover.
- The article failed to mention the more important things, like
- how many flights of ducks flew overhead while he was stranded those 3
- 1/2 hours. My luck would have called for Geese, but then again, I'm
- not dumb enough to hunt ducks without a dog. We never found out if he
- managed to get any more ducks while pretending to be a natural blind,
- nor if he ever retrieved the original duck. Shoddy reporting, I must
- say. --
