The Sun is reporting a couple of Surrey boys have gotten lost near Mission - hope they are found soon.
METRO VANCOUVER - Search crews are scouring logging roads and woods north of Mission for a pair of missing hunters.
RCMP and local Search and Rescue members, with the help of a search plane, are focused on an area near the 2 km mark of Sylvester Road, said police spokeswoman Cpl. Sharon Sulich, early Tuesday morning.
The pair of 26-year-olds went out in the early hours of Monday morning.
Authorities were notified about the missing hunters late last night. Two people who reported them missing are helping with the search, Sulich said. It's still very early, she said. "These guys are experienced," the officer added.
Their vehicle has been located, but crews continue to search the area's network of logging roads. "You can get turned around in there," Sulich said.
One of the hunters is from Delta, and the other is from Surrey.
"We are doing everything possible," Sulich said, noting that the hunters did have a cellphone with them, but it may be dead, or out of range.
Anyone who may have information related to the hunters' whereabouts is asked to call Mission RCMP at 1-604-826-7161.
