I copied this from CGN, Hope it's nobody from the HBC family, sad just the same.
"One Man Dead Following Weekend Hunting Accident in Hackney Hills Area
It was a tragic hunting accident this weekend for two Powell River men who had known each other since childhood.
One man left his camp near Graham Forest Road outside of Fort St. John on Thursday by ATV. When the missing hunter didn’t return, his friend set out to find him the next morning.
He made the unfortunate discovery of the body of his friend pinned under the ATV with the body of a dead elk tied to it.
RCMP were alerted and drove by quad one and hours into the bush to reach the accident scene. The body was later flown out by helicopter.
Early police investigations show the quad rolled off a trail and onto the hunter, but RCMP say they are not treating the death as suspicious"
Be carefull all, things happen all too fast.
