A search and rescue mission has been underway since Saturday for an 86-year-old hunter who went missing in the San Juan National Forest outside Dolores.

Montezuma County emergency manager Mike Pasquin said Alvie Webb was reported overdue Saturday, and ever since, search and rescue crews have been trying to locate him. Webb’s basecamp was set up near the Roaring Fork Trail, which is in Montezuma County, Pasquin said.

The search has used aerial patrols, including the use of a Blackhawk helicopter, Pasquin said.

Pasquin said the search was active as of Monday morning. He did not immediately have more information about the incident.
