JASPER, Ala. (AP) -- A Gardendale man reported missing after a day of hunting near the Walker-Tuscaloosa county line was found dead.

Walker County Sheriff John Mark Tirey said Daniel L. Thomas, 39, apparently died after he fell from a tree stand at the Walker-Loosa Hunting Club.

Thomas' body was found after midnight Friday by volunteers who had been searching for him for about three hours. They found his four-wheeler first, and then his body next to a tree he apparently had climbed for stalk hunting.

Walker County Coroner Joey Vick pronounced Thomas dead on the scene. At least two hunters have died during the current season.
