The inside story on outside recreation for South Puget Sound and beyond
Monday, November 3rd, 2008

From the Associated Press:

BILLINGS, Mont. — Rosebud County, Mont., authorities say a 73-year-old hunter from Washington missing since Thursday has been found dead.

Sheriff Randy Allies says the body of Dale Tibbits of Roy was found Saturday morning after a helicopter with U.S. Customs and Border Protection spotted his all-terrain vehicle.

Allies says Tibbits apparently died from injuries sustained after crashing the ATV.

Tibbits was last seen at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday when he and his hunting partner decided to take a nap in the Long Fork Creek area, about 30 miles northwest of Forsyth. When his partner woke, Tibbits was gone.

Searchers on horses and four-wheelers started looking for Tibbits early Friday. His body was found about a half-mile from where he was last seen.

No autopsy is planned.
