[QUOTE="Bama, post: 260374, member: 1184"] This place is really thick. He could hear us but couldn't go toward us. There are many bluffs in the area also. He could hardly walk. He didn't travel more that a mile a day. Thats daylight to dark. He was a tough old bird. He later said he heard prople at night. He said "I thought it may have been some hoodlums having a party or something". He wasn't really concerned about being lost. He was surprised when he found out that there had been so many folks looking for him. He was a guy that had spent a lot of his time in the woods and wasn't really concerned and never did panic. Even at 73 he still goes out hunting. He said he will continue to go out there. To him this is not a way of life, it is life. I have a hunting buddy that has ran across him in the area several times. He was lost in the Bankhead National Forest. This is a large area. Thick with underbrush. As some members of the family put it at the commanmd post before he was found. " He was doing one of the things he enjoyed most in life." There was also some speculation that he had been picked up and something happened to him elsewhere. Those stations were broadcasting from the city of Moulton. Most of them didn't even go to the scene. Those of us that know that area can fully understand how someone can disappear. Usually someone is able to answer when you call for them. If they are not able to call or stand up you would nearly have to step on them to find them. He was wearing a dark green shirt, making him harder to spot. Aircraft were sent up but its so thick its like looking for a fire ant in a bale of hay. link to some pics of the area.
