RedactedNarrative: On November, 6 2016 at approximately 2045 I Game Warden with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, received a call from Park Ranger in reference to a missing kayaker. 
  
  The kayaker’s vehicle and wheelchair were left at the beach in Sideoats Campground in Hell Creek State Park and he was suppose to be home by this time. I Arrived at the beach and spoke with Subject and the on scene Russell County Deputy. 
  
  The weather conditions at this time were approximately 50 degrees and raining. I launched my 16 foot jon boat and myself and Subject Completed an initial search of nearby shoreline. Coming up with nothing I beached the boat and went to the now set up Command Post to get a plan. I called GW Cleveland and asked him to bring a boat and himself and also to give GW a call to head this way. I also notified my LT and asked if he would notify our CAPT. After speaking with the IC who at that time was the Russell county Undersheriff, we decided that we would deploy three boston Whalers with teams of at least 2 on each boat and we would start searching shorelines. I launched my Boston Whaler and had GW on board with me. 
  
  GW1 Launched his Boston Whaler with an unknown individual aboard. A Park Ranger with the Corp of Engineers also launched a Boston Whaler with Park Ranger Subject also on board. After a short period of time we gained a picture of the Kayak and I believed I had checked this individual fishing in Marshall Cove and also in Hell Creek. Also Knowing that those are two popular spots for kayaker I sent the other two boats west along the south shoreline to search towards Minooka Park and and My boat went to the east to Hell Creek.
  
   After searching Hell Creek and finding nothing we moved ahead of the other boats and searched marshall cove due to there being shelter under the docks there. After finding nothing in Marshall Cove we reviewed the weather and decided to head to the North shore and start searching from Lucas point to the west, due to the fact that the wind was 15-25 MPH out of the S and SSE for the previous 12 hours. 
  
  We got to the Lucas point swim beach and a vehicle pulled down to the beach. at that point GW2 and myself thought we had heard a yell. We shut the engine off and I began to yell back. We heard a faint yell to the west. 
  
  we ended up on the second point to the west and got visual of Operator at approximately 2337. We approached from the East and found very steep banks. We found a ledge that we could get the boat up against and I got on land and set an anchor. I approached Operator and asked him if he had any injuries besides being cold and wet. He said that not he did not have any and he was glad to see us. The three of us carried Operator down the bank having to slide him on his butt to get him in our boat. We got him sat on the floor of the boat and wrapped him 2 wool blankets. I sat on the floor of the boat with Operator while Gw drove and another GWhelped him navigate. 
  
  We reached the beach in Sideoats campground at 2346 and got him into MED1. After operator was warmed up in the ambulance he refused to be transported to the hospital and was released about an hour after we handed him of to the EMS personnel. 
  
  The next morning we located Operator''s Kayak approximately 1 mile west of where we found him the night before. The kayak was upright but filled with water, it also still had the fishing pole in the holder and the depth finder still attached. We were unable to located Operator''s Dry bag which contained a set of clothes and his cell phone…
