Anyone following the Missing Boys in Oroville lake ?

[jetboatperformance]

Maybe its just my investigative mind but somethings dont add up. Two near adult young men hunters , Kayaks found , pants (or coat found) shotgun shells found , wallet found, from what Ive read... No trace other than the prior mentioned items ? starting to think something doesnt add up ?

Day 9: Search continues for missing brothers who were duck hunting in Thermalito Afterbay

Though several items belonging to one of the brothers were located in Thermalito Afterbay on Friday, nothing new was discovered over the weekend.

I’ve been following from beginning. I’m with you, something seems off. Maybe not, but like you said, they seem pretty experienced and seasoned for both to have drowned.

If it was an individual, I'd think along the lines of "Missing 411". (Those stories will creep you out if you spend time alone in the woods) For a pair to go missing seems really odd though.

First I have heard of it. Hopefully they turn up unscathed.

That's @Willie B old stomping ground. My Uncle has a house up there in Berry Creek as well but currently living in Chico.

I'm gonna go with a little broke back mountain action and then a bear ran up and ate them both since they were too busy to notice Mr. Bear.

migrants?

That's not even the least bit funny. They are now searching for bodies. This is a tragedy for their family

 

[dribble]

As I understand it, one of them called 911 and said his brother was in the water. His kayak overturned when he went out to retrieve a duck. He then said there's no time and went in himself. Without a doubt they are both gone.

I have boys about the same age. They'll pick on each other to no end, but would do anything to help the other as well. I can't imagine losing one, and don't want to try to imagine losing both the same day.

Although I hope they are found alive and well, that doesn't sound to be the case. Pray for a miracle, but pray for the family as well.

When the bodies produce enough gas products, they'll float to the surface and be discovered.

No conspiracy here. Why does everything have to have something nefarious attached to it?

Both of them were experienced outdoorsmen. There are many photos of the boys with various trophies, they probably started hunting when they were tykes. What a tragedy for the parents, prayers for them.

Is it true they didn’t hand out bonus in a timely fashion.

Too soon lol. Prayers to these two boys and their families. Hoping they’re alive and will be found. But it doesn’t sound good.

My brother was Duck hunting 20-some years a go, and waded in to grab a duck w/ waders on, and got stuck. Idiot was by himself after work. Lucky he had a cell phone, and was able to call 911. It took an hour + to get him out. He had a floatation device on the waders, if he needed it.

This time of year, its cold, and its getting dark, Sounds like no life jackets.

.., The Afterbay is actually in two sections and is miles away from Lake Oroville itself… It is not even close to being a forest area… The water should not be all that cold this time of year… But unfortunately if these young guys had a lot of heavy hunting gear on and boots …it is entirely possible that they drowned …
… The Afterbays main use is to heat the lake water to irriigate the Rice fields in the area..,

… here is a video of the smaller section … which I think may be used for seasonal duck hunting…(man I wish I could still walk like I could when I shot this video)…

This. They can take the depth of the water and the temperature of the water and give you a pretty good idea of when it's going to happen. Unfortunately I know this all too well. I learned all about this stuff during the seven days that I searched for my four friends in Folsom. It's such a tough time for the family and friends. Prayers to the family.

Hopefully they didn’t have waders on if they flipped

That's what I was thinking. It doesn't matter how good of swimmer you are if you're wearing those and they fill.

I know that was tough on you. I can't imagine the pain and heartache that tragedy produced.

Most of the afterbay is about 15 feet deep.
Water is cold now. Lots of weeds on the bottom since it’s fairly shallow and sunlight goes down.
This is a huge loss….
