Police were called out to assist a missing possum trapper early Sunday morning.
Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, said the 30-year-old male went out to check on his traps at about 1.30am when he wandered off-track and could not find his way back to his vehicle.
He called the police for help but his phone died shortly afterwards.
The man was located about 2 hours later not far from the original track.
Mosgiel police guided the man back to the road by utilizing police lights and sirens.
