Seems like we're getting more of these events this year.
Straight to the gut

The dog being back at the truck worries me.
That's never a good sign I hope they find him

Just a sheriff's log report for a missing person. I don't think they know anything except he's missing so far. So no news yet.

I can't seem to find anything on the newswires about this, nor on the Spokane County Sheriff page. You would think that it would make the news if he has been missing since yesterday.
I saw it this morning on my facebook. I don't remember who but it might have been Pullman or Lewiston radio/tv/newspaper that posted it. I don't think it was one of the Spokane news outlets.

Be safe out there guys and gals. I can't believe that it's me saying it but be safe in the field.

As a side note, I hunted a couple years at a wheat/cattle ranch between St John and Endicott in the very area where the hunter on the Palouse disappeared. River must be up, because it wasn't very deep when I was hunting there.

very sad. What ever happened with the hunter that was missing near king city a month or two ago?
Sorry to hear unfortunate news on any of these accidents. Prayers and condolences to all the families.
JJB11BB, I think your referring to the man that went missing near Royal city. He unfortunately was also found deceased. I believe they said at the time it appeared he had fallen.

I happen to work only 6 miles from this place. Joe Delong is one of our customers. I guess I got misinformed on the dog being at the rig. Either way I feel like when the search crew went out the night before at around 10:00 they should have followed the water's edge. If nothing else it would serve as a border to the search area and narrow your field. Suck's that this happened to this guy and hopefully people will better understand how dangerous the water is in weather like this.
Falling into rain swollen rivers is bad even for the best swimmers, you don't realize the strength of the currant until you've been in something like that. All it takes is the currant to pin you into a sweeper or a log jam or even a steep bank and you're a goner.
We see a lot of accidents like this every summer and fall in Alaska and many are even wearing flotation devices.

Be careful, think about what you are planning and actually doing and let's not have these kinds of posts next year.
RIP to the hunter.
