Father and son were duck hunting out of an 8 foot Jon boat. Father stated that he was sitting in the rear of the boat when he stood up to shoot at a Canadian Honker. When he shot he lot his balance and fell out of the boat. When he fell out of the boat water entered the small Jon boat. Son gave his father a type III pfd and his father held onto the side of the boat. The son bailed water out of the boat to keep it from capsizing. Father was in the water for approximately 30 minutes before struggling back into the small boat. His son then rowed back to the train tracks near the Red Wing Public Works building and called 911. Father was unable to walk and was suffering from hypothermia. Father was transported to hospital.
