Overview
- Devon Dobek, 51, was reported missing Friday after failing to return from a hunt; his truck was found at the Fish Creek Trailhead with no sign of him or the deer he reported.
- The multi-agency operation has deployed ground teams, K9 units, ATVs, thermal-imaging drones, fixed‑wing aircraft and an Oregon Army National Guard helicopter.
- Officials say steep slopes burned in the 2020 wildfires and extensive downed timber are making navigation and detection extremely difficult as crews work into the night.
- Gunshots heard overnight Friday were presumed to be from the missing hunter, but searchers were unable to pinpoint the source.
- Authorities request tips to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office at 503-723-4949, referencing CCSO Case #25-022972, and say additional volunteers are not needed.
