Man Found Safe After Being Lost In N.H. Woods

MARLOW, N.H. (AP) — A hunter who got lost in the woods in Marlow, N.H., has been found safe.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game department says 31-year-old Eric Nutting of Charlestown was deer hunting behind a friend's home in Marlow Saturday afternoon. His family reported him missing around 9:30 p.m., and conservation officers found him around 1:15 a.m. Sunday about a half mile from his car.

With the arrival of the fall hunting season, officials are warning hunters to prepare for the unexpected by carrying a flashlight, map and compass.
