Yep, this time some dumb ass snowmobiler ran over and killed 57 ducks on Tuesday afternoon. WTF??????? http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/37601579.html DNR looking for snowmobiler who ran over, killed 57 ducks By Ryan Haggerty of the Journal Sentinel Posted: Jan. 14, 2009 5:46 p.m. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources...Authorities are searching for a snowmobiler who ran over and killed 57 mallard ducks Tuesday Authorities are searching for a snowmobiler who ran over and killed 57 mallard ducks Tuesday on a river in Fond du Lac, according to the state Department of Natural Resources. The ducks were found in an area of open water and on the ice of the Fond du Lac River near Lake Winnebago, said George Protogere, a DNR warden supervisor. The snowmobiler apparently skipped over the open water, turned around and skipped over the water again, Protogere said. The fact that the snowmobiler appears to have intentionally run over the ducks is disturbing, Protogere said. "You think about wildlife and the journey that they have when they migrate and the ones that stick around with these harsh temperatures, and then all of the sudden they get killed by a senseless act," he said. "It just does not make any sense." The ducks - 37 drake mallards and 20 mallard hens - were killed sometime between about 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday, Protogere said. The duck slaughter comes less than a week after snowmobilers ran down and killed four deer and fatally injured a fifth Friday night in Waupaca County. No arrests have been made in connection with that case, authorities said. Anyone with information about either case is asked to call the DNR's violation tip line at (800) TIP-WDNR or (800) 847-9367.
Wow - first a bunch of deer and now a bunch of ducks. You Wisconsin boys sure do know how to live! http://www.bowhunting.com/blog/post/2009/01/13/Snowmobilers-Run-Over-Five-Deer-Kill-Four.aspx

Man claims involvement in killing of ducks By Ryan Haggerty of the Journal Sentinel Posted: Jan. 15, 2009 7:35 p.m. A man who claims he was involved in the deaths of 57 mallard ducks that were run over by a snowmobile Tuesday on the Fond du Lac River has contacted the state Department of Natural Resources, an agency official said. The man, who is in his 30s and from the Fond du Lac area, called the DNR Wednesday evening, said George Protogere, a DNR warden supervisor. The man was interviewed by the DNR, but Protogere said he could not discuss the man's statements in detail because the case is still being investigated. The ducks were found Tuesday in an area of open water and on the ice of the river near Lake Winnebago in Fond du Lac. Tracks in the snow suggest that the snowmobiler who struck the ducks skipped over the open water, turned around and skipped over the water again, Protogere said. Officials are hoping to speak with a second person who may have been present when the ducks were killed, Protogere said. "We don't know that person's involvement," Protogere said. "We have to talk to that person to confirm the story. He could have just been an innocent partner who did nothing, but we don't know." The man who contacted the DNR has not been arrested, Protogere said. After interviewing the second person, investigators will meet with the Fond du Lac County district attorney's office to determine the next step in the case, Protogere said.
