Event narrative (NOAA)
A 29 year old male duck hunter drowned when his flat-bottomed kayak type of boat overturned while trying to return to shore during 30 mph winds and rising water. The area of water in which he was hunting was normally controlled at a depth of two feet; however, the region was flooded by the confluence of the Marmaton and Little Osage Rivers. Time and date was estimated.
