RedactedNarrative: The owner/operator was duck hunting with a friend in separate kayaks. His kayak tipped and capsized making him unable to get back into the kayak. 
  
  His life jacket was tucked inside of the kayak and he was unable to retrieve it. His friend attempted to tow him to shore, but he almost made the friend's kayak fill with water. 
  
  They called for assistance. He was rescued from the water by EMS and Law Enforcement. He was taken to the medical center for treatment of hypothermia. He had been in the water for approximately 1 hour prior to rescue, holding on to decoys to keep him afloat. 
  
  He was not wearing a life jacket, and alcohol was not a factor. The kayak was less than 10 feet long and was not required to be registered. His kayak was not recovered from the water.
