Tyler was hunting at the Mouth of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean in Little River South Carolina Jetty Rocks when his boat began taking on water and capsized causing Tyler to have to abandon his boat and jump into the Atlantic Ocean. Tyler did have his Life Jacket on and he was wearing a Camouflage Float Coat. The Surface Currents were 23 mph with a West Southwest wind and Tyler was swept away to an unknown location.
