Have they caught the fella that was roaming through Zion?

Just curious... Have they caught that guy yet?

I remember the story. Authorities were looking for him but I never saw any follow up.

Brett- that's the unit I drew this year. I will be sure to keep an eye out.

Man I bet that guy has some real good info and scouting tips though.

What's the story? Brett, I'll be down there in three weeks, if you want to take the camera out and meet me at one of my honey holes. We should get some good footage of some nice bucks and bulls.
There's always next year

It's that escaped convict guy from AZ that fled to te Zion wilderness. Every winter he breaks into the cabins and steals stuff after the owners close them up for the season. They caught him meandering through Swains Creek on a trail cam.

Supposedly they found one if his caches dug into a hill a ways back and there was food, generators, fuel, guns, etc... All stolen property. They were using helicopters for a while, but apparently this guy knows his way around the mountain because thy can't find him.

Okay, I know they are serious but I have to agree with PhillyB. That sketch is too funny.

There hasn't been much seen of the guy for awhile I guess. A guy I know stumbled on his camp hunting elk once. A lot of people I know have had their stuff stolen and such. Kind of creepy I do alot of hunting in those parts.
