🦆🚨STORY TIME🚨🦆
In the early 1960’s, a group of guys got together and headed out for a hunting trip. Among the group were hunters Ivy R. Redding, his son Danny Redding, Mr. Bill Heard, and Jimmy Watson Jr. Their destination was an oxbow lake along the Ouachita River, where the group had a floating blind. Jimmy was tagging along with plans to deer hunt on the banks close by.

It was a cold, foggy, November morning. The group split as Jimmy Jr. set off in hopes to fill a deer tag. Ivy, Bill, and Danny loaded the boat and made their way towards the blind.

Young Danny, who was still in elementary school at the time, was the first one in, followed by Bill. As Bill entered the blind, he noticed an unsteadiness as it rocked back and forth. Ivy crawled up, and before they knew it, the entire duck blind flipped, also causing the boat to be trapped underneath it.

The three hunters were stranded out in 18 feet of bone chilling water. They shouted for help in hopes that Jimmy would hear them. Bill looked at Mr. Redding and said, “Ivy, I’m getting cold.” To which Ivy replied, “Bill, don’t you start that with me.”

It turns out, Jimmy Jr. did hear their cries for help. He acted quickly, and went straight for an old jon boat that was chained to a tree on the bank. Jimmy took his rifle, shot the lock off, and began the paddle through the blinding fog. With only the shouting voices guiding him, he made his way to their rescue.

Ivy helped his son, Danny in first, then he followed. Mr. Bill, did not have the strength to crawl up into the jon boat, so he held on as they paddled for dry ground. The group finally made it to the bank, thanks to the quick thinking on Jimmy’s (then just a high schooler) part. They quickly built a fire for warmth and to help dry their clothes out, but most importantly all were alive and safe.

We share this story to encourage all hunters/outdoorsmen to inspect your equipment and as Warn’s motto states, “Go Prepared”. Please be sure you have the property safety equipment, especially in a marine setting. Good luck to all this season!

They are still uncertain to this day as to how the foam flotation got out from under the blind, but one thing’s for sure…. They were all glad Jimmy Watson Jr. was a deer hunter. At least that day for sure!
