It's not really much different than any of us drowning, getting hypothermia, or having a firearm accident.

If, on the other hand, I chose to wear a Speedo in December, while taking the hybrid across the Chesapeake in a gale with a 125 HP motor strapped to the back, with a loaded chambered safety-off shotgun barrel in my mouth, then yes, they would be remarkably similar. But I don't.

I don't see any difference in what he does for fun and what waterfowlers do for fun.
To each his own.

game, set, match
David died late Wednesday afternoon while hunting brant on Tillamook Bay with Worth Mathewson. He was chasing a crippled bird in his Marsh rat when a gale pushed him out of sight. Worth swamped twice getting back to the big boat, then grounded on the falling tide. David was wearing a lifejacket, but at some point was swamped and swept down to the rocks at Barview, where rescuers, including the Coast Guard, found him. Body temp was down to 80 and he couldn't be revived despite a long attempt on the way to and in the hospital. Worth nearly did the same frantically trying to cross the bay to the Coast Guard station in his own Marsh rat (the big boat was still grounded late last night).

cold water, wet, hypothermia, die.
I spoke to one of Boys's best friends Friday night at the OWF. I personally didn't know him.
To think you are above death because the water is only 4' deep is absurd.

Does "cold water, wet, hypothermia, die" apply to 6" deep water? What about 15" deep water? 30' deep water? To act as if there aren't varying degrees of danger is, frankly, just dumb.

[quote]If 4' deep water and 120 mph 12 inches above rocks are the same thing to you,[/quote]

If you don't duck hunt for adrenaline (aka fun) why do you do it?

Any of you guys ever drag race your street car? I cheated death a couple times when I was young and dumb.

Weren't you the one making the comparisons?
