Hunters Exchange Shots at Geese Lakes and River Teal
Dean Smith aims two shots at geese at Horseshoe Lake and a second shot prompts a duck to fall into a pit. Days later he dodges another heavy goose crashing into the pit while Duane Smith contends with a mink over a blue winged teal on the Sangamon River. The mink drags the bird before Duane retrieves it amid strong language. Several reports follow.
