OFFICERS QUACKING UP
Former Ohakune traffic officer Graeme Cole, and Ian Harrison didn't have much luck the first weekend of the duck shooting season - for the simple reason that they were catching up on some Z's in the sun, while the ducks flew ovcrhead laughing. Drinking drivers may be on thcir way to bccoming an cxtinct spccies, but lcast ways ducks are safc with thcse intrepid law and ordcr boys on the ball. And to add injury to insult, both 'boys' wcnt homc with a rump fuil of buck-shot, after a couple of ovcr-enthusiastic hunters misinterprctcd thcir 'playing possum' for a dead duck routinc.
