A boat carrying three hunters swamped and filled with water at Pearl Lake about 1 PM.  The hunters were trying to get back to their vehicle from an island.  The hunters were clinging to the boat for approximately 1 hour.  One of the hunters was completely in the water the whole time and was wearing waders.  Two other hunters of their group were still on the island.  They eventually called 911.  Stutsman County emergency responders reported to the scene.  By that time, the hunters in the water had drifted to shore and were safe.  All people were rescued.  There was safety equipment on the boat and it was being used properly.  Victim was the hunter who was submerged in the water the whole time.  Ambulance personnel suggested he go to the emergency room to be checked out.
