Be Careful out there...Hunters missing

Post by GSP4ME » Tue Dec 29, 2015 3:41 pm

Country singer Craig Strickland has been declared missing following a duck-hunting trip in stormy conditions with a friend who turned up dead.

Officials began searching for Strickland — lead singer of country-rock group Backroad Anthem — and his 22-year-old friend Chase Morland on Sunday after they failed to return from duck-hunting on Kaw Lake, according to NBC affiliate KFOR.

Just saw this on the news. It doesn't look good for Craig.

Sad story, but it wasn't bright of them to be out. Weather was horrible.

I'm guessing no life vests but I haven't heard that. Can't imagine trying to swim in boots and full waterfowl gear.

This is a sad story, and I'm sure every effort is being done to find the missing hunter, singer. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the guy that died, and prayers for a safe return

I was quail hunting up there today when they found him. He managed to make it out of the water and up into the woods before succumbing to hypothermia. Terribly sad situation.
