The hunters – two adults and two youths, aged 12 and 16 – were dropped off at Mosquito Lake, also known as Clifford Reid Lake, on Oct. 8, and were supposed to picked up three days later, said police.

RCMP are concerned that the hunters only brought enough food for their intended trip, and are likely sleeping in tents as there aren’t any nearby cabins.

Police are searching the area with a helicopter Wednesday, and have notified RCMP Search and Rescue, as well as the Canadian military.
