Anti-duck hunting protester found

A woman who went missing while protesting against duck hunting has been found, uninjured.

The 37-year-old woman was last seen standing in the shallows of Lake Connewarre, near Leopold, by a group of hunters and protesters about 10pm on Saturday.

An off-duty police officer located the woman walking not far from where she went missing, about 1pm on Sunday.

She was assessed by paramedics at the scene and was not injured, police said.

It is believed the woman, from Derrimut, was in the area to protest about the opening of the duck hunting season on Saturday.
