Duck hunter rescues companion from Mecosta County lake
MECOSTA COUNTY, Mich. – A pair of duckers is recovering after their boat capsized in Mecosta County’s Chippewa Lake.
By the time deputies arrived, one of the victims, Jonathon Oshinski, had made it to shore and rescued the other hunter. The sheriff’s department says Oshinski grabbed a nearby row boat and took it out onto the water to rescue his companion, William Deal. Rescuers helped pull the boat to shore.
Both Deal and Oshinski were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were treated for exposure.
