The intense search effort for two missing elk hunters in southern Colorado came to an end Thursday, when rescuers with Colorado Search and Rescue found both Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko deceased, according to an update from Porter’s aunt, Lynne Runkle.⁠ ⁠ Crews found the two bodies in the Rio Grande National Forest, the Denver Post reports, capping off a six-day search that involved multiple agencies and groups of volunteers. CORSAR has not issued any information about where the two bodies were found. As we reported Wednesday, Porter and Stasko, both 25 years old, had traveled to Colorado from Asheville, North Carolina, and Salt Lake City, Utah, respectively, to hunt elk on national forest land in Game Management Unit 81. Porter’s fiancé, Bridget Murphy, said she had lost electronic communication with them on September 11. They were reported missing on Sept. 12, and search-and-rescue efforts began on Sept. 13.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #hunting #elkhunting #el...
