In short: 

Duck hunting has been added to a list of prohibited activities in areas of Victoria near Euroa where bird flu has been detected. 

Victoria's duck hunting season opens on Wednesday and will last for almost three months. 

What's next? 

Greater Shepparton councillor and hunter Steven Threlfall fears the ban could be a "practice run" for broader restrictions.

 

Dear Steven,

""Paranoia strikes deep; into your life it will creep.

Best, 

Retiring Guy
