Missing hunter - W. of Royal City near Crab Creek - Anyone know this area?

[Elkrunner]

I think the fact that there hasn't been an update in 22 hours from grant county sheriffs office is not a good thing.  Im wondering how long until they call off the search.

Fairchild AFB had a search chopper out yesterday but it returned last night with no findings.

His body is believed to have been found. Very sad.

Such a sad day.  I really do not like seeing things like this.

That is so sad. I hate it when these stories don't have a happy ending. Prayers to his friends and family.

I didn't want to hear that, but I knew it was coming.  He had been out too long and there is a lot of particularly dangerous traps one can get ones self into in that country.

Sorry to hear about this bad news.

So sad.

I wonder if it was a fall from his tree stand?

[JDHasty]

None of the news reports say, but if I were a betting man....

I have friends who climb into tree stands w/one hand holding a firearm and w/the other they kinda' grab for the next rung up.  It is just a matter of time.... 

I always attache a rope and haul my bow or firearm up after I am in, sitting and secure.

that is terrible. at least he was doing what he liked. prayers for the family

Reported that he fell off an 80 foot embankment in another thread.

That's what I heard at work. Very sad. Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope it was the fall that did him in, Lows in the teens lately.  Be careful out there people, there's not a deer on this planet worth what he went through.
