Idaho hunter finds remains of another hunter who went missing in 1968: "It's pretty wild"

An Idaho bow hunter who was looking for a shortcut instead found the remains of another hunter who had been missing for 53 years, a discovery the local sheriff called "pretty wild."

Raymond Jones was 39 years old when he was last seen on Sept. 7, 1968, while bow hunting for mountain goats in central Idaho's Lemhi County, EastIdahoNews.com reported. Searches were unsuccessful, and Jones' remains went unfound until Friday, when another bow hunter stumbled across them.

The hunter called the Lemhi County Sheriff's Office to report the discovery. He was in the same area where Jones had disappeared half a century ago.
