PHILOMATH, Ore. -- A hunter is safe after going missing Saturday
afternoon.
The hunter, 52-year-old Donald Hamilton of Philomath, had a wreck
on his ATV. It rolled over him and pinned him under the vehicle.
Hamilton eventually freed himself, but wasn't able to get help.
Search and Rescue crews found him early Sunday morning east of
Eddyville. He was cold, sore, and needed minor medical attention.
The sheriff's office says this accident is a good reminder for
hunters to always go out with a partner in case of an emergency.
