Duck hunter rescued from frigid water after kayak overturned
HEMPSTEAD, New York (WCBS ) — A dangerously close call for a Long Island man who was duck hunting and suddenly found himself stuck in freezing cold water for an hour.
As CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported Monday, he managed to make one phone call that saved his life.
Duck hunters flock to the Town of Hempstead, known for the concentration of water fowl there.
But on Jan. 10, the sport nearly claimed one of their lives.
Bill, an East Northport native and avid hunter who did not want to share his last name with CBS2, found himself in 40 degree water when his kayak overturned in Reynolds Channel.
