Well Boys,
I finally got that 
chewin that some of you thought I deserved last night when I ran into DNR buddies 1 & 2 at one of the MN waterfowl meetings.
They both seemed a bit perturbed with the whole situation, claiming I “wouldn’t believe the number of calls that were recieved regarding that post”……The bird was actually sent in for an X-ray just to confirm that it hadn’t been shot 
.
I apologized and promised never to have any more fun playing practical jokes on the internet again
