Im thinking fog again this am as its fairly foggy east of Wenatchee this am. I would assume it gets worse the closer to Royal City.
fog is pretty hard to navigate

I've duck hunted a lot in that area of Crab Creek.  Lots of water and lots of places to fall are the first things that come to mind, difficult to navigate in a straight line even in good conditions.  Sure hope he's ok.

The fact that he was using a tree stand is what concerns me the most. A fall out of the tree stand seems more likely than getting lost in that area.

Freezing fog and 26 deg. as of 0947 :( Visibility is about 1/4 mile at best where I am at, about 15 miles East of Royal City.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Yup, that is a distinct possibility. Did they find his stand?

On a side note we just had that young gal accidentally hang herself while mushroom picking near Aberdeen. Fell off a steep embankment and got tangled up in the brush. Sad deal.

I know the area fairly well, once you get over to the bluffs there are some areas you could slip/fall and end up breaking your leg, etc

Where would someone be most likely to use a tree stand in that area? Since he was hunting out of a tree stand, it seems that would narrow down the search by quite a bit. Wouldn't it? Not a lot of trees in that area.

Probably mostly along water sources or in an orchard.

Hope he is safe.. he must be hurt in some way because how would you  get lost in royal city?

That's my thinking. Wide open country. I've bird and coyote hunted all over that area.
