Missing hunters in Colorado

[Thomas11]

I’m a little confused w everyone me thinking hypothermia and wet. Wasn’t the bad storm Thursday? And they were seen Friday so clearly they had avoided being stuck out in it right?

That was my take away from the last real update we saw. But I could easily be overlooking something.

I have been praying for days now that these two fellas will be found safely. I would request we all do the same. For those of us venturing out thru the remainder of the season, stay safe, stay prepared, be thankful for the health and ability!!

Like others have said, I've been out in 15 degree weather and been nice and toasty warm where I could have slept overnight in the woods, and I've been brutally cold when it was 35 and rainy. Being wet sucks.

Yeah, none of this makes sense. Of course, at this stage, it never does. We're at the point where the easier explanations have been exhausted and the 'unlikely' becomes more likely.

Still praying for those guys.

Something seems super sketchy to me. Why would vehicle be moved to new trailhead with Zero waypoints on OnX and no pings on phones or Inreach. I am doubting two other hunters actually SAW them on Friday morning. Doesnt make a lot of sense to me.

Yea I think they either thought they saw them but it wasn’t them or something else seems odd

Sunday the 7th, what appears to be the first night of the hunt, was essentially the same location as their last ping, after spending the earlier part of the day further north where most other pings are located. It wasn't somewhere they had never been before.

You know, thats why when the comment came out about the hotel situation I immediately fell for it. It made more sense than just about any other theory up to this point that they weren't even out there. Unfortunately I dont see a good outcome coming out of this.

Friday everything was probably soaked so still easy to get new dry clothes wet and get into trouble

There aren't a lot of places in CO where you can't hike in one direction and find a road pretty easily. And the best way to combat hypothermia (outside of avoiding it) is to keep moving, or stop and build a fire. I've spent the night out in a blizzard a couple times over the years during rifle seasons, with just a fire.

There were bad storms from the 11th through the 13th. Here are some numbers for the 3 days from nearby stations.

Not that hard to understand. They came back down from the wilderness Thurs, stayed at car. Hunted another nearby trailhead Friday am, didn't like it as much and drove back. They where only sending like 1-2 pins back to the fiancé every day as a basic check in.

If I'm looking for elk I'll hit 2-4 areas a day, miles apart, sleep in my truck away from my basecamp and maybe check in with the wife every other day.

I’ve never stumbled on any but have read of others coming across drug plots on federal land and seeing “tenders” with weapons. Not sure if this is an area known for that type of activity.
