Missing Hiker Rescued on Mount Moosilauke

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 Posted in Assorted Outdoors | No Comments »

Missing hiker Patricia Dewey, age 50, of Thetford, Vermont, was rescued Monday night (January 4, 2010) by New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers on Mount Moosilauke in Benton, N.H. Dewey had been snowshoeing alone when she broke a snowshoe. She was carrying and activated a Personal Locator Beacon, which sends a signal via satellite. This provided rescuers with a GPS coordinate of her location, allowing rescuers to know exactly where to find her, about a mile and half in from the trailhead. “It’s lucky she had the beacon, because there is no cell phone coverage in that area,” said Sgt. Brian Suttmeier of Fish and Game. Fish and Game was notified of Dewey’s emergency call about 6:30 p.m. and she was brought out to safety about 8:30 p.m. Read more..

Wind blew, snow flew, and the mercury dropped to bone-chilling depths during the late portion of Missouri’s youth deer hunting season. But in spite of beastly weather, young hunters managed to check nearly as many deer as they did during the same period last year, bringing Missouri’s youth deer harvest to its highest level ever. Hunters age 6 through 15 checked 1,706 deer Jan. 2 and 3. That is just 66 fewer than were checked during the January portion of the 2008-2009 youth hunt.
