Strange But True: Not a Shot Was Fired

The sport of duck hunting has provided many a tasty Sunday roast for sharpshooters. In 1976 Dr. Ernest J. Fox, a veterinarian from Georgetown, South Carolina, went duck hunting at Annandale Plantation. With him was his friend Marshall Trueluck.

The two hunters set out their decoys and retired to their blind to wait. Sure enough, two ducks came winging overhead from opposite directions. They saw the decoys below and decided to take a closer look.

The ducks dived down, banged their heads together with great force, and fell into the water, dead.
