Chopper Incident Has Rancher In Hot Water

...Fred Conway was taking a nap at his ranch high above Punkin Center in late June when he heard the helicopter. He grabbed his shotgun and drove a four-wheeler across his pastures to the stock pond.
He'd been feuding with the U.S. Forest Service over water it had dipped the year before to fight fires in the area. Because the agency never paid for that water, Conway told it not to come back.
Yet, here was a Bell 212 toting a 240-gallon rubber bucket from a 100-foot-long cable, making a beeline for his pond. Conway tried to wave away the pilot, but he dropped the bucket nonetheless. Conway fired at the bucket...

Somebody should tell the FS to pay their water bills.
