Arrived early and stayed late. Brian winchester had found the boat. Mike wasnt in it. His decoys were all in the boat. What picture came together for you . Like everybody else, worried he might have fallen out. Mikes boss, clay catcher. Brian stood with me. Any time they would come up with a potential hit, brian said i dont want to be here when they find mike. Manmade Lake Seminole can be treacherous for boaters. A onetime Peach Orchard before it was flooded and tree stumps lurk below the surface. David arnette was at the scene. You hit a stump and could be thrown out easily. They didnt have a body but there was an early theory about what might have happened. Like most duck hunters he was known to wear chesthigh waders. Waders are bulky, basically like putting two buckets on your legs. You have problem with them filling up with water and taking you down. What was down there as everybody knew, alligators. Hard to think of such an awful end for a nice working husband and father like Mike
