Oamaru police are "not impressed" with a hunter who used his
cellphone to tell police he was lost on Mt Misery near
Waianakarua on Saturday morning.
Acting Sergeant Jason Martin said the 28-year-old had several
medical conditions, was an inexperienced tramper and was
ill-equipped for the conditions.
A helicopter and ground crews spent an hour searching for the
man, only to find him at noon, uninjured and less than 200m
from his vehicle.
