Default 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
Mud

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....

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!

Terrible to hear. I hope his family can find some solace in the fact he went out in some of the world's greatest country, following his passion.

Sheesh...my heart goes out to this man's family. A tragic outcome, and I can only imagine he was an incredible guy, following his passion, alone, which any of us who do the same can understand. I hope his family finds peace and comfort in the solace that he was doing what he loved to do...may he rest in peace.
