Missing Hunter- Iron Mtn Rd near SR 88; 9-26-10
A hunting party, connected by FRS radios, became separated. The missing subject fired 3 shots as a "distress" message. The SAR coordinator was contacted in the early hours. A callout was made for next morning. The subject hunkered down, built a fire and was walking out in the morning when his party found him. He was interviewed by SAR personnel.

Subject was found by other members in his hunting group in the morning. Missing subject did have a FRS family radio with him and CHP helicopter was able to communicate with other family members this way along with the Command Post having the same capibility - Does not hurt to have family radios available in these situations.
