Duck Hunters Rescued

[Zipper]

These guys dodged an icy end, thanks to first responders and the Coast Guard. Just a reminder that things can turn deadly when you combine freezing temperature and water.

Unfortunately these three (down in Texas) weren't so lucky: http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/08/us/texas-duck-hunters-found-dead/

A father and 5 year old son were also lost in TX this weekend. They were duck hunting and disappeared. Neighbors were alerted when their lab showed up on shore without them.

 

BTW they said they were not wearing life jackets.

Very sad - http://sports.yahoo.com/news/father-5-old-son-found-012300306.html

 

Not sure why a 5-year old wouldn't be wearing a life jacket.
