BRIGANTINE, N.J. (AP) The Coast Gard used a helicopter to rescue two duck hunters who became stranded in southern New Jersey.
The hunters got off their boat to hunt on an island near Little Egg Inlet in Brigantine on Tuesday, the Coast Guard said. But the hunters were unable to recover their boat and shallow water prevented a towing company from reaching them.
The Coast Guard said the hunters had only one bottle of water, no food and cellphones with little charge left as the temperature neared freezing.
