## Caption

Jake Schmitt, a Utah hunting guide, went into the Uintah Mountains on July 20 to scout for mule deer. ⁠
⁠
He was looking for a big buck in summer velvet that he knew was in the area. Schmitt left his truck on a forest road and drove into the mountains in a UTV, prepared with plenty of gear. He also brought along Buddy, his six-year-old German shorthaired pointer. The next morning, Schmitt crawled out of the mountains, barely alive. After rolling his UTV on a steep incline, Jake Schmitt dragged his broken body to safety, crawling for 11 hours straight with his dog's help.⁠
