I am also a very avid waterfowl hunter for the past 20 yrs and I too am skeptical of the snowmobile theory... not saying it could not happen but until I either see a toxicology report from the ducks or a sled with feathers I will reserve judgement. Mallards are one of the smartest ducks.. They would have been long gone after the first pass or before the noise even reached them. Trust me they don't freeze after sitting in the water and flying when its cold even below 0...

Looks more like a water crossing gone bad. There has to be more to the story. I mean its bad, and i feel for the ducks, but 57 ducks with 41-45" ski stance?
Here is a link to a local paper that has pictures of the scene.

I too am skeptical. That is a lot of ducks. I have hit open water at night before that was full of ducks. They scattered pretty quick. It was like something from the movie "The Birds". Scared the crap out of me. Before you get your panties in a bunch...I didnt hit any of them.
I believe there was something in the water that killed them and because a snowmobile track was in the middle of them all people are jumping to conclusions. No matter what did it, the damage is done now and the media is having a field day with it.
View the pictures and decide for yourself.

There is alot of people around sask that clip coyotes in the fields around here, makes me sick. You would never think about running over a dog with a sled, if some one ran over mine or one of my friends their face wouldn't be recognizable by how badly i would beat them. I use to hunt and after my child hood dog died my dad and myself have stopped, it just dosent feel right anymore. My dad leaves out bread, meat and bird seed and these two show up daily.
wow thats a meaty dear. i hear them say 300# bucks are common in northern canada.
Since the thread on the deer killing is locked. Here ya go.

Snowmobile parts recovered from scene of deer killings
By Linda Spice of the Journal Sentinel
Posted: Jan. 13, 2009
Snowmobile parts recovered from the scene of a deer slaughter in Waupaca County have been turned over to the State Crime Laboratory as investigators look for clues to the identities of whoever ran down and killed four deer and fatally injured a fifth Friday night.
Waupaca County sheriff's Capt. Don Conat said no arrests were made Tuesday, but investigators hope the parts will lead to the make and model of at least one snowmobile involved in the killing.
"We're looking for people to come forward, and if somebody knows of somebody that has a snowmobile that was recently damaged, especially overnight Friday, we'd like to hear about those," Conat said.
A call to a Department of Natural Resources hotline helped investigators narrow the time of the attack to between 7 and 9:30 p.m. Friday, earlier than initially suspected.
"These people had observed the deer down and steam coming from its mouth, like it was breathing hard," Conat said.
The deer were found about 9 a.m. Saturday by a farmer who rents land near Denmark and Holiday roads in the Town of Lind. Investigators suspect three or four snowmobiles were involved. Four deer were found dead at the scene, and a fifth had to be killed because of its injuries.
Carl Mesman, a conservation warden supervisor for the DNR, said he has assigned two investigators to the case along with a sheriff's detective.
"It's possible that somebody out there knows the full story. Generally, what happens is we get little bits of information," he said. "I anticipate we're going to get little bits and pieces that will lead us in the right direction."
A growing reward fund - $9,000 as of Tuesday - should help prompt calls. An additional $1,000 may also be available through the Waupaca County Crime Stoppers tip line at (888) 258-9955, or (715) 258-9955 from outside the area.
The Waupaca County Snowmobile Association and the County Line Trailblazers Snowmobile Club have jointly set up the reward fund at First State Bank in Waupaca. Donations to the Waupaca County Line Reward Fund may be sent to P.O. Box 549, Waupaca, WI 54981.

It's good to see the snowmobile club setting up the reward fund. That really speaks for us sledders. I hope they catch the people involved in both of these incidents, sledders or not, and make them pay dearly for what they have done. That behavior is not acceptable in any corner of our society, and should be punished accordingly.
man..hard to get close to ducks with a fast boat...tarmigan always seem to get out of the way when snowmobiling and don;t see them...just hard to believe...are these ducks democrats...???
Such general and obnoxious statements serve no purpose but to inflame each side.
Greenies are not going to kill that which they seek to protect just to set someone up.
The fact that anyone would suggest this only points to what really lurks in their mind.
Chances are it is just some ignorant, uneducated yahoo that thinks ducks are worthless creatures and it was fun.
And last time I checked there weren't that many greenies that fall into that category.

Does some one want to pass the pop corn?
The sad thing is that more people car about 5 dead ****ing dear and some dead ducks than all the people that died in avys this year. Eight people in one slide, that’s a tragedy and more people care about some game that we harvest millions of each year.
I’m not saying what these people did was right. By no means should any animal be treated like that, BUT more people have said stuff to me about this than the huge slide up in BC.

Wasn't it some record cold temps there the past couple nights, like -30 or something?
BTW, it probably was some idiots on their daddy's old sleds. But, don't put it past greenies, to sacrifice a few for they greater good. Not all greenies are PETA members, some are just anti motor, global warming freaks.
With that nice reward, I hope someone sells the idiots out, and gets them some jail time.

x 2 man. but this is out of line
ha not offended, just thought it was funny that somebody with a pedobear avatar was so offended by some ducks getting squished.
I don't believe it. Its something else like this http://proliberty.com/observer/20061209.htm we had a few years ago we ended up with around 3500 ducks by the time it was done. the ducks just concentrate there because of the open water. I have bowfished at night and even with the generator running you can drive right up to them they wont fly just swim around the boat. but no way could you get that many with a snowmobile. The tracks were just across the open water and someone jumped the gun on Blaming a snowmobiler
