PILOT STATION, AK — The body of a Pitka’s Point moose hunter has been recovered from the Yukon River near Pilot Station.

Thaddeus Riley, 25, drowned Monday when he and two other men were on a hunting trip when their boat hit a submerged log.

All three were ejected from the boat. Sipary and Tinker swam to shore but Riley went under in the current and did not surface.
