RedactedNarrative: The Owner/operator stated that they had just finished hunting on a stretch of Lake Oahe and were proceeding back to the Hazelton boat ramp. Once they got into the open water the boat began to take on water from the 2ft+ waves. 
  
  They were too far out into the open lake to go back.  At some point the motor stalled and could not be restarted. 
  
  At this time the ability to steer was lost and the boat swamped and capsized.   The boat sank completely. Another hunter saw the events happening and came to their aid.  Both the operator and passenger were wearing their life jackets.
