KCSD Looking for Missing Post Falls Bear Hunters

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office has activated their Search and Rescue teams to look for two missing bear hunters in the Bunco Road area in Northeastern Kootenai County. Initial information shows that Craig Wies, 49, and Russel Lowe, 65, both of Post Falls left the Post Falls area yesterday morning to hunt for bear near the Bunco Road Trail Head area. Neither hunter, or their vehicle have been found yet. They are reported to be driving a aqua color Chevy pick-up with a camper shell. The Sheriff’s Office is not looking for volunteers to assist at this time. If the need arises, further information will be sent out.
