2 Va. duck hunters drown in separate accidents

POQUOSON — Two Virginia duck hunters have drowned in separate accidents.

The Virginian-Pilot reports that 24-year-old Isaac Bowles of Yorktown drowned Monday morning after he and another hunter fell from a boat into Lyons Creek near Poquoson.

Virginia Marine Resources Commission spokesman John Bull says the other hunter, 28-year-old Lawrence Hansford of Seaford, was taken to a local hospital.

Also Monday, a 20-year-old Virginia Military Institute cadet drowned while duck hunting on the Chesapeake Bay.

VMI says in a news release that Andrew L. Reavis of Tappahannock was on holiday break when the accident occurred. The school didn't provide details of the accident.
