Search teams find three hunters

Thursday, November 10, 2011

The Elmore County Sheriff's Office and the county search and rescue team have found three hunters who have been reported to be overdue from a trip to Elmore County.

The ECSO was notified Thursday morning that the three, a married couple from Boise County and a family friend from Eagle, had not returned home Wednesday night. They are believed to have left to go hunting on horseback in the North Fork of the Boise River and the Pete Creek drainage area.

Search and Rescue teams found their vehicle and horse trailer earlier in the morning and by early afternoon had found the three, who were reported to be unharmed.

What a waste of taxpayer $$$. So the hunters didn't come home & instead of waiting 24 hours, they call the ECSO the next morning?!? Be self-reliant and call friends to help search first, THEN call the authorities. I practice what I advise, by the way.
