Missing Hunter Found Safe


A happy ending to a search yesterday for a missing hunter east of Fort Frances.

53 year old Patrick O'Connell was found safe and sound on Turtle River Road by the OPP's Emergency Response Team.

He had been reported missing Tuesday night after failing to return home from hunting.

Police says the man became lost, but managed to find his way out of the bush to a nearby road, where he was picked up by another hunter.
