    Given his experience I am surprised he has no PLB ?? as usually it is mentioned in these articles or by S&R/Police if one is carried.

    Unfortunately a PLB has to be turned on manually.

    Iv walked 14ks up the dart river track(true left) 16yrs ago.You only need to wander off the track 10 mtrs in some areas and your lost or gota stop and have a bloody good think where you come from .And i did cross the dart to get my whitetail,but it was very low in a well chosen spot.
    Hope they find him soon,its not a friendly if you get lost or fall.

    This missing Hunter is on this forum. MurrayQld is his handle. Recently asked about taking a rifle from nz to Victoria to hunt sambar. I wish him well. He’s been missing a while now!

    The fact he hasn't activated his PLB doesn't bode well. ( I was told he has one but can't confirm this fact ) The weather is changing today, clouds and wind. Really hope he gets found and it's a good result for all involved.

    Fingers crossed they find him alive and just lost. Hopefully he hasn't decided that he doesn't want to be found.

    @CATLINS HUNTER do you volunteer and happen to do training around the country for them by any chance?
