Saw an update that they have suspended the land search and are now questioning whether they made it out of the water so for whatever reason, they have reason to believe now that they went into the water. Said something about the motor was damaged and boat was upright but the hull was dented up. Sounds to me like they hit something running and might have been thrown out of the boat. Also, some additional info was provided: they were on a scouting trip down around Davis Island about 4 miles south from where they launched and have been missing since Thursday night. Today was day 4 of the search. Definitely not a good situation.

Saw it on FB. Doesn’t look good and praying for the best.

I’d bet they turn up somewhere sooner or later. It’s plausible they could have fallen out of the boat and drowned but those labs didn’t. Hoping for the best. My thoughts also.

If they had on waders would that not act like weights and hold them down?? Not necessarily, Neopreme would add some floatation, but make it harder to swim.

Google shows nothing new. Really hard to believe. My daughter said she heard they found one of the dogs but I can’t find that in the news. Anybody have anything new? alive or dead????

Old style waders can be a deathtrap if you get in deep water or step in a hole. Neoprene is basically like a slightly looser wet suit and much safer for the wearer IMO. Havent seen anything about them finding either one of the labs which to me is the strangest part. When my lab was in her prime, you couldnt have drowned her if you tried. Maybe if you wrapped a bunch of chain and some cinder blocks on her but then again she may have just towed it to shallow water. Labs dont just drown.

Dang things nearly drown me in 14'. If a buddy hadn't got to me I'd be gone.

I know some folks that won’t put waders on until they get to the hole for fear of this very thing.

Dr. B Smart. I bought my boys (who love to duck hunt) a set of the inflatable life jackets.

She heard they found one of the dogs alive from her boyfriend who is a big duck hunter and knows people in the area. Can’t confirm in any way though

Had a cousin die when his boat over turned in the late 70's. Two others lived but didn't have wadders on.

No one rides in my boat with their waders on unless they wear a life jacket.

Dr. B Smart. I bought my boys (who love to duck hunt) a set of the inflatable life jackets. Nothing scares the hell outta you like sitting in the boat at the hole in the dark and having your sleeve catch on that little rip cord and inflate the vest. I bout shat myself. Been thinking a lot about these boys. I hope their families have peace. I pray they recover them. Dr. B

There have been people drown on the river in Decatur duck hunting back when we had ducks on the river channel. There was some AL Football player that drown in the 1960's right under the railroad bridge and my Dad passed them headed down river at almost the same moment he said if it hadn't been dark when he looked back he would have been able to see the boat had turned over. Overloaded is what he said was the issue and most of the time that is the issue.
I have picked up several hunters out there with boat trouble that were cold and hungry before cell phone and 1 commercial fisherman who luckily had a wetsuit or he would have probably froze to death he had been out there since the prior day I picked him up about 7:00 the next morning when I went to chase down the dog in the current I saw him waving and retrieved him as well. It can get nasty out there when the wind is right and cold enough to kill you.
Just be careful no matter where you are hunting on the water.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

I don't get it. Where did the dogs go? They just swim around trying to find owners and drown too? Seems like first instinct would have been get to land. Mine fell out of the boat one morning running 20mph and that's what she did. Went straight to land. Didn't even look back to see if I was coming to get her.
