RCMP find overdue hunters after aerial search

UPDATED

RCMP have located four hunters after they were reported four days overdue.

The hunters, two adults and two youth from God’s River, left on a three day fly-in trip on October 8, 2019 near Clifford Reid Lake. They were scheduled to be picked up on October 11th but due to weather conditions the plane could not land on the water.

Police say that were concerned that the hunters only brought enough food for the three days and that they are sleeping in tents.
