Duck hunter drowns in bay of GB

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) -- A 31-year-old man drowned in the Bay of Green Bay while duck hunting yesterday.

At about 6:00 a.m. on Nov. 4th, the 31-year-old man, accompanied by his hunting partner, launched his boat from the Green Bay Metro Boat Launch located at the mouth of the Fox River with the intent of going duck hunting.

The man launched his boat and agreed to meet his hunting partner at the Eagles Nest boat landing.
