First off - thoughts & prayers go out to the family of Jeff Bard. It's stories like this that always make my wife nervous each & every time I head out to hunt.
Not tryin' to get all preachy here, but I saw this story on the news last night and thought I'd share it here. Every year it seems that we lose hunters in accidents like this one. If you're in a boat, just wear your PFD. It doesn't take long for a tragedy like this to happen...

The printed story varies from what was broadcast last night. Apparently the guy that drown thought the dog was in trouble swimming & went in to help rescue it. Again, that was what was on the 10 o'clock news, and the printed story reads like he may have fell out of his boat? Not sure on which details are correct, just sure that I hope everybody takes a safe approach to chasing ducks & geese this season.
