DOVER, Tenn. (WTVF)—More help is on the way and no one is giving up. The search continues for a Stewart County hunter who disappeared more than a week ago in remote Alaska.

A search and rescue team from Middle Tennessee is now headed up north to help.

It just doesn’t make sense. Steve Keel is an experienced outdoorsman. He goes prepared and there is just no explanation for how he disappeared without a trace.

Fire conditions change as cooler, wetter arrives in late summer and fall, but it’s important that hunters know fire closures can extend far beyond the boundaries of fires that are active, or recently extinguished. Land closures can continue into October, even if weather cools and we get…
