RCMP are reminding residents to be prepared when travelling over land or water after a hunter from Sachs Harbour was reported missing Aug. 22.
According to the Mounties, the man travelled out of the community alone on an ATV the previous evening with the intent of returning home the same night.
Carrying a trailer, rifle and a few food supplies, the hunter reportedly became stranded because of fog.
When he did not return to Sachs Harbour, a search and rescue was carried out to find him, RCMP said, but he eventually abandoned his trailer and found his own way home.
