The man was alive, like you are, if we're alive like you, when we read the title?

It should be mandatory when AP reports news like this that they also include a picture of the dog

And also the small detail of wether the man was actually alive (in the title)

Yeah but this dog might also work undercover narcotics so they don’t want to blow his cover.

Surely they mean reportedly.

> The hunter was unharmed, but cold and wet due to falling into the river three times, police said.

Oh God, that poor man.

Still, a man of his age surviving ONE fall into a river is damn impressive. This guy did it three times! He may be blind but that old man is hale as shit.

It was pretty damn cold this weekend too. I was hunting an area less than twenty miles from where this happened, although I didn’t hear about it at the time. It was mid twenties overnight with heavy snow at times and mild wind. Definitely bad conditions for being soaking wet and a mile from shelter.

I just hope to be able to get outside when I’m 80, let alone full on hunting

I live near the AuSable. It has been in the 20s at night and that river is icy cold in the middle of summer. Surprised he survived, and what a misery that night must have been.

He was found because he had a system in place with his wife and she knew when to expect him and when it was time to call for help. Don’t ever go off in the woods without telling someone where you will be and creating a plan if you don’t return. Well done to everyone, especially the very good boy who found him!

Really smart of him to know how to signal for help and that he was lost, and great that his wife knew the signal. Ends very differently otherwise.

My hunting partner of 25 years is now in his eighties. He refuses to quit and I refuse to leave him behind. But I worry constantly that something is going to happen to him while we are out there trying to get ducks.

We should replace cops with dogs. I'm not saying it would fix anything, Imagine being arrested by a pug!

After the third time, he decided not to walk so close to the river.

It’s dangerous to go alone.

When you’re 80.

So go with someone who can have your back.
