[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2323182, member: 5412"] Here is a little more advice. Never go into waters that your boat, and boating skills won't allow. In the early 80's a best friend that I'd hunted with for years wanted to duck hunt on Kaw like we had many times before. I couldn't go so he invited two other guys. They set out before daylight with a dog, decoys, guns, and gear in a 14' flat bottom boat. By noon the wind was howling. Jimmy's dad called me about 6pm and asked if I'd seen him. A buddy and I went to the ramp and saw his trailer empty. Drove 10 miles to a phone and called the COE Lake rangers, and they in turn called the OHP and ODW. We took a boat out there. Around 2 am we found our friend face down in the water with his life jacket on, but unzipped. The other two guys took over a month to surface with no life jackets on. It was tough going to Jimmy's dad and telling him his son died. Kaw Lake has had 7 duck hunters drown on the lake over the years. Hunt safe. [/QUOTE]
