RedactedNarrative: Authorities received a report of a boat that sank in the lake while the occupant and his dog were hunting. The boat sank when the motor failed and the boat turned sideways in the high wind and waves came over the stern. The operator was wearing his life jacket and was floating in the water for 10-15 minutes. The dog swam to shore. A group of duck hunters were preparing to launch their boat and heard the victim yelling for help. One of the hunters called 911 from shore, while the other two hunters went out in their boat and were able to bring the victim back to shore. The victim was checked out by the ambulance crew for hypothermia. He refused transport to the hospital. The boat was a total loss.
