Sawyer Man Drowns Trying To Retrieve Deer
Posted: Nov 14, 2015 2:51PM CST
The body of a Sawyer man was recovered on Saturday after he drowned in Choctaw County.
Troopers say the body of 51-year-old Stephen Newton was recovered in approximately 10 feet of water, 80 feet off the bank in the Kiamichi River, 5 miles southwest of Fort Towson .
Newton and his daughter were hunting Friday afternoon when she shot a deer with her hunting bow.
The deer ran into the Kiamichi River, and Newton went to retrieve it, but he never resurfaced, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
The search for Newton's body was called off at sunset on Friday and resumed Saturday morning.
The Choctaw County Sheriff's Department and the Fort Towson Fire Department also assisted OHP with recovery efforts

That's a great buck, congrats!
Congrats on a true trophy Ryanh. Impressive rack.
What a terrible traumatic event for his daughter. She will likely never get over it.
Nice KS buck!
Saturday A.M. saw quite a few coming and going all on this same shelf beneath this thickly wooded ridge I was on so I decided to go check it out and hunt it the next morning. As I'm standing down there choosing a tree, there comes a decent buck (120ish) right up on me and never once heard him, not sure who was more startled! Needless to say he bounded off, flipping me off with his tail on the way. I go ahead and put in some tree steps and get up Sunday on about 4 hours sleep (dang those late OU games anyway), brave the cold rain and wind and not one blasted deer moved all morning. Now I'm coming down with a cold to boot!
