ST. ANTHONY — Around 10:00 p.m. Friday night, Fremont County Search & Rescue Jr. and Sr. Units were paged out for a 46-year-old hunter from Coalville, Utah who did not make it back to his vehicle before nightfall.

After a deputy fired three rounds from his gun, they heard a reply shot.

When the rest of the searchers showed up they repeated the signal shots, narrowing down the hunter’s location. He was located around 1:00 a.m., very cold and wet.

He was assessed by EMS and transported to the hospital. The extent of his medical issues is not known at this time.
