Five ducks were found to be punctured with blowgun darts in a pond outside Northern Light A.R. Gould Hospital in Presque Isle, according to the Maine Warden Service. Game Warden Mike Joy said that the ducks were pierced with stainless steel shaft darts that had an arrow-type head. Officials determined that the darts had been shot out of a blowgun, an attack that was unlike anything the veteran had seen before. Blowguns are illegal to use for any type of hunting of any animals in Maine.
