Rescuers found a hunter during a late-night search after he became separated from his partner in dense forest. 

Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) said a team was sent out at about 5:30 pm on Monday to look for the missing man. 

He was found in “steep, densely forested terrain loaded with deadfall” in the McCulloch area at about 9 pm, COSAR said.

They added that he was “in good health and spirits.”

“Tonight was another example of subjects making good decisions once they realized they were in trouble,” the rescuers explained.
