By 250 News

Prince George, B.C.  -  A 63 year old man who had become separated from the other members of his hunting party  in the Nazko region has been found.

The man  was found late this afternoon walking down a forestry road  towards the Nazko area.  He was exhausted and dehydrated after spending nearly 36 hours in the woods and was taken to the Nazko Lodge.  He has since been transported to GR Baker Hospital in Quesnel to be checked.

The man had gone hunting with three others  early yesterday  but  got separated from  his hunting party.  He failed to  meet the others at the pre-arranged meeting spot, and a search was mounted.

The RCMP helicopter from Kamloops,  the Dog Unit from Prince George, Quesnel RCMP, Search and Rescue and volunteers, all took  part in a search of the area near the 3900 Forestry Road near Nazko today to try and locate the man.
