#8 The 1-pound female ring-neck ended up at Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, where it has been treated since Tuesday for wounds to its wing and leg.

Shot in the wing and the leg? I bet Dad got stuck with the bill.

#9 A few thoughts come to mind. What kind of hunter bags some waterfowl, and then doesn't clean the critter before heading home with it? That is just gross.

My wife, would have wrung his neck, dipped him in some boiling water and plucked his ass for the pot.

Hmmm. Maybe he was going to have the critter stuffed.

#10 #9: "My wife, would have wrung his neck, dipped him in some boiling water and plucked his ass for the pot."

Just because he didn't clean the duck before he brought it home? Isn't that a tad harse, Chuck? ;-p

#11 I don't think so, Barbara. anything we caught had to be cleaned and anything we shot had to beprepared as well or it didn't go into the freezer or refrigadeezer.

#14 13 comments and not one Cheney joke. C'mon, there has to be at least one in this story.

If the duck could talk, perhaps he could help us solve one of life's little mysteries: Does the light go off when the door is shut?
