it would be hard not to go crazy over this one.
Finding 4 hunters 'almost impossible,' Idaho sheriff says. One family disagrees.

Seem journalists nowdays go for quantity if words rather than precise content.it would be hard not to go crazy over this one.

Interesting. Sad deal. Where do the bodies go? Meaning if they can't find them?How many families have experience being a first responder in search and rescue? When a large and/or swift body of water is involved? Finding bodies swept away by that swift water?
I have that experience.
It can take months, if they ever do find them at all. After the first hours or so, if there is no sign of survivors, in a case like this, this is very little chance that a search will find them, and as the sheriff correctly stated, they will only find bodies.
Then there is the risk of putting people in dangerous situations during search and rescue operations.

I know the guides Mom. There not well. I'd pay a helicopter pilot myself to run the river in search. $10,000 is cheap for answers.
I was meaning if I was the parent. But we will remember your sentiment.Great. You pay for it. Don't ask taxpayers to.

Well thanks for your coast guard run. But life isn't as perfect as we'd like it sometimes. Do you remember when you were young and dumb? The guide was 21. And out taxes paid for the coast guard.My "sentiment" is based on 4 years risking my life, along with others, in the USCG rescuing people who either did stupid stuff or were unlucky - often both. Saw a LOT of taxpayer money wasted on same. Saw people get injured or die - including friends and colleagues who were trying to rescue those people.
The attitude today that the government should be responsible for individuals instead of individuals being responsible for themselves is at the core of our problems. So I don't really give a **** what people think of my "sentiment".
Yes it does - a few years ago they recovered a body in the Deschutes that was entangled and concealed in trees and branches in a fast moving section and not far from where the person went in.With water like that it would be easy for a body to get caught on a rock, tree, and group of timber in thw river and stay forever.
It happens a lot.
So do I and wondered about just this given the Sheriff 'declined to say' on this...but I care more for the lives of first responders and their families than I do for somebody who probably was drunk and out hunting wolves in the middle of the night who drove themselves into a river.
Giddings declined to say whether investigators believe alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash.

I really agree more than I'm probably showing. It's just hard when families are "in the moment ".I very much remember being young and stupid. I remember it every day when my back and neck hurt and I sometimes can't walk because of a really stupid thing I did when I was 17. I remember it every time I go in for therapy and adjustment on my back and on my shoulder - the latter because I did something stupid when I was 14.
I was happy to help people when I was in the USCG - that was one of the main reasons why I chose the CG, because I wanted to help/save people. I did it gladly. I help people whenever I can.
But when people are ungrateful, and demand that others risk their lives to find the bodies of their children who were out doing something stupid and/or reckless, then I have a problem with that.
I hold no responsible for my own stupid actions except myself, and I don't go around grousing about the government not doing enough to protect me from myself or helping me afterwards. I deal with it.
I had a former co-worker who also was is the USCG - and would occasionally tell me stories of his experiences most likely similar to yours.My "sentiment" is based on 4 years risking my life, along with others, in the USCG rescuing people who either did stupid stuff or were unlucky - often both.

Btw, I'm considered a pretty tough guy by most, but I'd cringe if I was in the coast guard. Water scares me a lot. I'm completely enamored by the mystery and power of the ocean waters.
Man. Tough stories. You can't prepare people to handle that very easily. I'm guessing you don't get paid very well in the coast guard..?
