Tragedy was averted this weekend as two hunters located 82-year old Wayne Hockaday who had been missing since Wednesday in Hot Springs County.
Hockaday was found Sunday, just before 2 p.m. by brothers Fred and Robert John who were in town hunting over the weekend.
They spotted Hockaday who signaled them before he dropped to the ground.
“He was very dehydrated and exhausted,” John said. “He had just enough energy to stand for us to see him before going down.”
Hockaday was taken to Hot Springs County Memorial Hospital via ambulance and was kept and treated for a few hours before being allowed to return home.
