RED ROCK, Okla. (Gray News) – A 24-year-old hunter died in a hunting accident on Sunday morning in Oklahoma, according to officials.

Oklahoma Game Wardens said the man drowned in Sooner Lake, about 80 miles west of Tulsa, while he was duck hunting.

Game wardens said that the man went in the water to retrieve a duck when he hit a drop off. Water overcame his waders, and he did not resurface.

Using imaging technology, officials found his body on the lake floor.

He needed a dog. Stepping into a hole in waders is a nightmare scenario.

So it wasn’t a gun violence excuse for the Dems to ban hunting and confiscate firearms.

May he RIP.

He should have had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever with him. They’re strong powerful dogs with a waterproof oily coat. I’ve hunted with them for years. They’re great to duck and goose hunt with. One year many years ago a guy fell out of his boat trying to tie it up at the dock. He had hip waders on and slipped off the pier going straight to the bottom. He was found the next day.

I helped drag an 80 yo trapper out of a creek where he died struggling when his waders filled up

Given the content of this article, and my own personal experience both in mountain Idaho and here in AK:

Wear your wading belt, people. It can buy you a lot of critical time…

Not a duck hunter for many reasons. It’s a hard-core thing. I’d rather do less dangerous game like elk and mue deer ;^)

Might get stomped to death, but I won’t drown.
