Getting the Bird

A 66-year-old huntsman has told police how he bagged his wife by mistake during a pheasant shoot with pals when she took their dog for a walk through the thick undergrowth.

"She was supposed to be in the car but went for a walk. Without knowing it she walked in front of the guns and her husband thought she was a bird," said one officer in Cres, Croatia.
