He has two young daughters. At this time I dont know if foul play was involved but the story does seem odd.
He went duck hunting on one of the coldest windy days of the year... do ducks even present themselves in those conditions? The kayak apparently took on water when he was that far out and not while he was closer to the shore?? What could cause that? The "friend" said there was no distress calls....another oddity. Things just arent adding up and we are crushed here to think of his family.
My wife is very upset as this was a close high school friend who she used to ride motorcycles with. CP I pray that God works a miracle and you are found alive.
Thank you to anyone who reads this...you all are the only family I got.
God bless.
Edit: Update today they found his body with sonar. Wasnt wearing a lifejacket, so theres that too.
Thank you all for your support. Time to figure out how to help his two daughters.
Very normal for hardcore waterfowlers to hunt those conditions.
Many of us are complete waterfowl hunting addicts. The colder and worse the weather the more birds push down to hunt. You can have once in a lifetime hunts in those conditions.
Unfortunately it sounds like he underesimated the weather and overestimated the kayaks abilities. Its life and death out there in the cold conditions when you are on the water. Hypothermia can kill extremely fast.
Unfortunately many waterfowlers die every year from hypothermia and drowning.
Yea, you were 100% right on this one.
