Lost hunter spends night in woods north of Orr

Posted

ORR- An International Falls man and his dog spent last Friday night lost in the woods north of Orr after becoming disoriented while hunting.
St. Louis County Sheriff’s deputies and the St. Louis County Rescue Squad responded to an area on Leslie Road west of Hwy. 53 at 10:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29 after receiving a report that the 62-year-old man had not returned to a cabin in the area after leaving on foot with his dog around 5 p.m.
The man and dog reappeared safe and sound at 8:45 a.m. Saturday morning, walking out of the woods near the Rescue Squad command post. The man told officers he had become lost while hunting and started a campfire for the night until there was enough daylight to find his way out of the woods. Neither the man nor the dog were injured during the incident.
