A helicopter rescued a stranded trapper on the weekend.
Cpl. Troy Savinkoff said in a news release that they got a report on Sunday that the hunter’s ATV overturned and got stuck in an area about 24 kilometres west of Highway 63, north of Wandering River. RCMP say they couldn’t get to the location by vehicle.
The Fort McKay First Nation resident had been on his way to his cabin when the rollover happened.
Outside temperatures were at about 4 C, but he was uninjured and taken to the airport in Lac La Biche.
“The quick co-ordination and execution of this rescue prevented the hunter from needing medical attention in a situation that could have ended differently,” according to the release.
