JUNEAU, Alaska (July 29, 2004)--A jubilant rescued hunter rides aboard a Coast Guard rescue helicopter from the Seattle-based icebreaker Healy Thursday afternoon near the Beaufort Sea. The man is one of four hunters rescued by the Coast Guard. North slope search and rescue volunteers began searching for the uninjured men July 25. The helicopter crew located the hunters about 32 miles northwest of the Colville River delta, took them aboard the aircraft and transported them to Nuiqsut, a village southof Harrison Bay in the Beaufort Sea.
