Three hunters were stranded at their campsite after the river they used to get there froze over while they were camping.
According to last Monday's Trooper Dispatch, 27-year-old Lester Pavila, 32-year-old Gerrett Kashatok, and 36-year-old Eugene Chadwick were stranded at their camp and had to be rescued. All of the men were from the village of Kipnuk. The river they traveled to get to their campsite froze over, and they were no longer able to use their boat. State Troopers picked them up by helicopter the following day.
The report says that the three were returned home in good health.
