Quack, quack

Written by 

A mate of the Hound reports how on the opening weekend of duck shooting a farmer and his mates had just finished shooting for the morning, when over the hill came a quad with three people on it – one policeman and two rangers who proceeded to go over the group with a fine-tooth comb.

After a while this old mutt’s farmer mate lost his patience. He then pointed out a sign on the road gate the bureaucrats came through, explaining they were entering a multiple hazard area and were required to contact the management on arrival. He also reminded them that it was illegal to carry passengers on a quad, but they could get back on it and take a hike.
