STANTON, NE — John Johnson, 56, got stuck in mud and water while duck hunting in northeast Nebraska.

Johnson was hunting Saturday morning southeast of Stanton when he moved into a marshy area and his hip waders began filling with water. He soon was mired up to his neck.

Rescuers called to the scene used ropes and a boat to get Johnson back on solid ground. He was taken to a hospital.
