Police said all four are in good health and are back home safe with their families.

RCMP are looking for a quartet of missing hunters from the Gods River area after weather conditions prevented them from being picked up by a float plane Oct. 11.

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.
