AVERY, Idaho — A helicopter crew plucked a hunter and his 14-year-old daughter from a mountainous and remote area of northern Idaho on Thursday morning after the pair had been missing for three days after a snowstorm.
A spokesman at Fairchild Air Force Base’s 36th Rescue Flight in Spokane, Wash., said 37-year-old Matthew Gering and his daughter, Kia, of Post Falls were not injured.
They were hoisted to the chopper in a basket and flown to a command post in Avery.
Authorities said Gering and his daughter had gone hunting Monday.
