Reward Offered for Missing Hunters

This story is from Colorado, but it hits close to home—safety in the backcountry is never something to take for granted…

We realize this news comes out of Colorado, but we still wanted to share it…just in case…and as a reminder to stay safe out there. Two hunters, Andrew Porter (25, 6’ tall, light brown hair) and Ian Stasko (25, 6’ tall, blonde), have been missing since the evening of 9/11 after heading out from the Rio Los Pinos Trailhead in Southern Colorado near Chama, NM, in the Rio Grande National Forest. A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to their recovery. Call those numbers at the bottom if you have any information, and please stay safe and prepared in the backcountry.
