Devon Dobek texted back home on Friday, Oct. 31, that he had just caught a deer and was headed back. Dobek is an experienced hunter, and it was not uncommon for him to go into Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon to hunt. He knew what he was doing and had the right gear — it was just a routine trip for the 51-year-old hunter. Except this time, he didn’t make it home.
It’s not uncommon for people to go missing when hiking, or even on simple errands — all manner of things can happen out in the wild — but concern grows the longer someone remains missing. People reports that the text about the deer is the last anyone has heard from Dobek, and it has been the crux of the massive four-day search.
