BAKER COUNTY, Fla. -- A father and son hunting hogs in Baker County were found by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conversation officers Thursday after the two Callahan residents were missing for nearly 36 hours.
The search for Mike Smith, 37, and his stepson Christopher, 13, began when FWC received a call from Tanya Smith, saying that her husband and son hadn't returned from their hunting trip.
According to FWC officials, text messages sent to Mrs. Smith helped them narrow narrow search.
The two hunters attempted to turn their vehicle around on a narrow dirt road and became stuck in the ditch.
They were found about 7-10 miles away from their truck.
The officers were able to pull the truck out of the ditch.
