SAR Staff and the SVU staged at a location approximately 19 miles north of Gerlach to search for a stranded hunter. His UTV had broken down and he was only able to text information to a few people, but couldn’t get a call out. With the diligent work of the IMT and SAR Staff, the subject’s location was finally verified as search teams were making their way to where they believed him to be. The subject and his UTV were towed by a friend, who had arrived in the area during the searach, back to his camp.
