Two hunters had to be rescued from Lake Simcoe on Friday morning after the boat they were in started to take in water.

Emergency crews got the call around 7:30 a.m. Friday morning after one of the hunters called 911.

South Simcoe Police says the two were in a 14 foot aluminium boat about two kilometres from shore in the south end of Cook’s Bay.

Innisfil Fire, Georgina Fire, South Simcoe Police and York Regional Police all responded.

Georgiana Fire located the men, who were standing in waist deep water, and brought them to shore.

The two men, 55 & 29, were checked out by paramedics but didn’t suffer any injuries and were released.

oh I thought they said from the ice on cooks bay

The bottom of the bay had ice. The boat couldnt get to them so they brought in the ice boat to get to them.

 

 

Thats what they said on the radio.

Glad everyones ok. I fish cooks bay in the winter and the rescue crew comes around at least once a season to help people out usually at the beginning of the season.

I wonder if they'll be charged for the rescue... Lol...

 

But in all seriousness glad everyone was ok... Scary stuff...

 

Glad they had a cell phone...

The circumstances surrounding this case are irrelevant. The main thing is the guys were rescued & they are healthy. Is that why we pay taxes?
