RIP Rick Cross
 

I just heard my friend Rick Cross is missing in the mountains west of Calgary. An experienced outdoorsman, he was supposed to return Sat evening from a sheep hunt. I don't know much as far as details go but he drives a white Dodge Diesel dually. Please respond if you saw his truck parked anywhere this weekend. I'll update this thread as I learn more. Pray for Rick and his family. Thanks

Lets hope someone can get to him quickly .
It's not nice out there.

X2!

Trying to get more details. Unfortunately all I have is his cell number which obviously isn't working.
I'll update as I learn more.

Update
RCMP have located his pack and found his rifle, but not him. Weather is hindering the search. Very concerned....

Praying for the missing!

Mud, hoping for a better post. Thoughts and prayers.

Omg. That is weird.
Worried for your friend.

i really hope there's a happy end to all of this.

please guys don't go somewhere so remote alone or at least without a spot or something.

Definitely worrisome... hoping for best outcome!...

That is incredibly strange, to be somewhere without pack and rifle on a sheephunt doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Praying for him and the family.

This is the message that I received from the family. This does not look good. Please pray for Rick.

"He was hunting on Pickle jar. The RCMP have been searching. They won't let anyone else on the mountain. They found his backpack and then 200 yards away his rifle. Now they have a dog team looking but the fog is so thick the helicopter can't fly so everyone is hiking in."

Thots and prayers for a happy ending to this

Prayers sent I hope this has a positive outcome.

Strange and very, very unfortunate.
Really hoping to see a positive next post.

Thoughts are with you an his family members.

Does not sound good at all but lets hope for some positive news.

I hope this ends better than it sounds. positive vibes for friends and family

This is very weird, I have known and hunted with Rick for something like 20 years, I can honestly say he is probably a more experienced woodsman than most here. I am trying to make sense of what is going on here, simply doesn't make sense. I sure hope this turns out a lot better than it looks.

Here's hoping for good news. Positive thoughts for him and his family & friends.

So have they found his truck because we had seen one in 416 last Thurs

My prayers are with him and his family that he is safe. I was in the range last week and conditions we trying. Does anyone know when he went out?

Hope they find him. This is my wifes worst nightmere when I go sheep hunting.

Which area is this guys? This is sad to read for certain.

Good luck to him and his family, and a big thanks to those out in this weather looking for him.

Best wishes to all involved! Hoping for a positive outcome. Certainly willing to help in a search if needed as well.

Just saw this posted on Twitter by Rocky Mountain Outlook newspaper:

"K-country RCMP and conservation officers search for missing hunter - provincial bear response team on site due to grizzly sow and cub in area".

I hope they find him alive and well! Prayers!

x10 on everyone's well wishes. This is everyone's nightmare and I hope the ending of this story is the best possible outcome.
