A flat tire was to blame for a missing person report near Houston last week, which nearly saw Bulkley Valley Search and Rescue teams deployed.
Austin and Cliff Sampere Jr, a pair of hunters, departed Gitsegukla, heading toward Houston, last Thursday morning.
They then lost contact with family, after pinging their last known location alongside Old Babine Road near Smithers.
SAR crews were preparing to hit the trails in search of the hunters, when they received word that a group of friends had located the pair.
Their delay had apparently been prompted after the pair chose to spend the night with their vehicle after blowing a tire.
