Hopefully he is late coming home from tracking his huge deer and dragging it out.

Holy smoke that's only about 8 miles from my house. Hope they find the old timer and he is ok.

That's a good reason to have a cell phone . You can call someone to let them know you are okay or injured .

Saying a prayer for our fellow hunter... hope he's ok.

The hunter who went missing on Wednesday has been found dead, according to the Oneida County Sheriff's Department.

64-year-old Richard Knight was found at approximately 3:00 p.m. in a field about half of a mile north of his home on Butler Road.

At this time the incident does not appear suspicious, according to authorities.

I dunno, he wasn't that far from his home.. This is only an educated guess, but I doubt he was lost that close to HOME. Sounds to me like a health issue, but I am just speculating..

[Lawdwaz]

Bummer for all involved. Condolences..................................

[SteveNY]

That's terrible... If it was of natural causes, at least he was doing something he liked/loved

[New York Hillbilly]

My condolences to the family.

[ny hunter]
