    Police are reminding people to carry their Personal Locator Beacons when tramping

    Police are reminding people to carry their Personal Locator Beacons when tramping


    A man hunting in the Kaimanawa Ranges yesterday was unable to signal for help when he was separated from his bag containing his beacon.

    Police responded to reports made yesterday morning of a man overdue from an afternoon hunt on Thursday near Otupua Hut, south of Poronui Station.

    The hunter suffered a knee injury and lost his bag containing his beacon.

    He was forced to spend a night in the bush before he was taken to Rotorua Hospital.
