Which ones of you numb nuts got stuck in the mud Monday. And had to have the fire department pull you out.
Who wants some free waders? I’ve got a layout boat with GatorGlide and a mud motor, thinking I could use an extra pair!
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - New details about the two duck hunters who got stuck in waist deep mud Monday morning. Turns out their dog played a big part in their rescue! Jefferson Co. Fire Dist. 11 Chief Jason Nellis tells 13 NEWS the hunters went into the Kyle Marsh, at Perry Wildlife Area, before sunrise Monday morning. The hunters, whose names weren't released, ventured across the marsh while it was still dark and got stuck in the mud. They called for help and when fire crews arrived, they could see the hunters flashlights more than a quarter-mile from the nearest boat ramp. Nellis says firefighters couldn't get closer than a hundred feet. But, they were able to call the hunter's dog. They, then, tied a rescue rope to the dog, who took it to the hunters one at a time, so crews could pull them out. Both men and their hero dog are okay. Clarification: The original version of this story indicated the men were able to free themselves. It's since been updated to include the roles the firefighters and, of course, the dog played.
