Read another instance of a hunter in Boise county passing away while in the process of packing out an elk

It’s been a very bad year for hunting related fatalities

One November when I was a kid, in the late 70s/early 80s, my dad and I found a snowed-in pickup truck in that part of unit 6. i want to say Windy Creek? We reported it. Turned out it was left by an elk hunter who was caught in a storm while packing out quarters. They found his body in the spring. That taught me a lesson early about hypothermia. Never leave your rig without good clothes and the means to sit out a wet, cold night. Bears get the hype but hypothermia will get you. Condolences to the family.

Some ask why I have a 25lb day pack. Layers, layers, layers. Moisture barrier.

Early wet snow is the worst. It goes right through everything.
