Thomson's Big Duck Shoot Remembered At Johnson's Lake

A 1924 reprint recounts Thomson's famous duck shoot at Johnson's Lake near Thomson. Hundreds of hunters lined the new road for opening day on September 18, with 800 acres of land and eleven blinds. Reports say eight strings of ducks were taken, locals and visitors from Chicago, Rockford, Sterling, Morrison, Fulton, Clinton and nearby towns participated, and many bags were claimed before noon amid heavy shooting and large crowds.
