Two hunters were rescued by Alaska State Troopers yesterday after their boat capsized during a hunting trip. Robert Miller of Palmer and Willy Rumbo of Wasilla were returning from the trip when their boat struck a log and capsized, according to Troopers.

Steve Mahay, a local river expert and rescue volunteer, says that the hunters had been in a welded aluminum boat. Troopers say that one of the two men had minor injuries, lacerations and “a bump on the head,” but that both men were alert and responsive.
