Cold Water Danger for Waterfowl Hunters
by Mike Demick Conservation Information Supervisor With the onset of autumn and resulting cold air and water temperatures, waterfowl hunters and anglers are urged to take precautions and wear life jackets while on the water this fall.
Overloaded boats and failure to wear life jackets are leading reasons Idaho typically loses a couple of hunters or anglers every year. In the past ten years nearly 67 percent of the fatal boating accidents in Idaho were the result of victims involuntarily entering the water from small boats. The average water temperature of Idaho’s water is 52 degrees, even during the summer. Wearing a life jacket can greatly increase your chance of surviving a cold water immersion situation. Learn more about Idaho boating laws and safety guidelines by attending a free boating safety class. or visit www.boatidaho.gov.
