BUTTE – A father and son who were hunting wolves and hadn’t been seen since Saturday morning have been found safe, according to the Beaverhead County Sheriff’s office.
Scott, 56, and Conrad, 33, McDougal were located in a southwest portion of Beaverhead County, approximately 40 miles from Dell Montana. The father and son got stuck in deep snow and spent two nights with their vehicle. Both are in reasonably good condition.
Early Sunday afternoon, Beaverhead Search and Rescue was called to help find the pair. The hunters did not provide relatives information concerning their hunt. Searchers could only identify a starting point based upon the hunters usual activity.
Search members used four-wheel drive trucks and all-terrain vehicles to comb the area outside of Dell, in the area of Sage Creek, until 10 p.m. Sunday.
A helicopter from Lifeflight in Butte assisted as well. Weather was problematic, sheriff Jay Hansen said.
On Monday, 16 searchers planned to work with fixed-wing aircraft and searchers using trucks and ATV’s…

And what about the poor wolves?
That’s the question.
Much as what they where doing was immensely shitty, I would be really wary about hoping for peoples deaths. Any suggestion of even minor psychopathy on our part could be used against us.
Oh, it’s “psychopathic” now to enjoy bullies getting there come-uppance? I guess political correctness now mandates that we shed a tear for muggers that get mugged, rapists that get raped, and assassins that get assassinated. You’ve been drinking way too much from the well of humanist batshit!
OK that gave me a laugh.
‘humanist batshit” Good one Geoff,
Yeah, I would have mourned them had they frozen to death, about like I would have mourned a dead child-molester,
It’s not like anyone asked them to go out in a snowstorm to kill wolves.
That IS very sad news!
Season’s greetings, Jim, and thank you for the wherewithal of maintaining this blog site for another year. It is the only place I know of on the blogosphere that consistently espouses a consistent and uncompromising stance against recreational killing and the degenerates that engage in it. I’ve seen many blog sites filled with passionate opposition against this-or-that injustice that have come and gone, apparently the proprietors not possessing the stamina of the long-distance runner. But you put out a quality product every day, year after year and the fact that only a limited number of people “tune-in” says way more about the baseness of modern civilization than about your ability as an advocate for wildlife.
Please keep up the good work, the world and the world’s wildlife need you to continue speaking
truth to depravity.
Thanks Geoff, I was on the cross country team in high school, so maybe that helps.
“The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner” –
At least it appears that the car got stuck before they could get a wolf? That’s good enough for me, they were thwarted. The article doesn’t mention when they got stuck, on the way out or the way back.
Well, I’m afraid I threw a little gasoline on the fire in the Missoulan comments if they are approved for posting. I am of two minds on this. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to change any reader’s mind, but I think it’s important to challenge the “aw, poor hunters, I hope they make it home safe” viewpoint. I want wolf hunters to feel public disapproval and contempt and to realize that many people feel their recreational killing is a shameful personality defect.
What comment did you leave them? Let’s hear it here. Yes, I hope it didn’t hurt any wolf hunters’ feelings.
