I received an email last night from my pastor about two hunters missing in Colorado. My pastor’s daughter sent the original email and she knows this family personally, they are friends of her and her husbands. These two men, Charles “Mike” Boso III and William “Mark” Boso left Kalamazoo Michigan to hunt in the Meeker Colorado area. They were last seen on October 31st in the Meeker area and haven’t been heard from since. They were supposed to return home on November 7th. The vehicle they were driving was a maroon 2000 Ford F-350 extended cab pickup with Michigan license plates of 7JF-L43. If you have seen or know anything about the location of these two men, please call the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Dept. in Michigan at: 269-383-8821. The news story can be found on WOOD-TV 8.
Please pray for their safe return.
This is a good reminder to ALL of us to file a hunt plan or float plan for trips that we are going to take no matter how close to home we are. When I went to Colorado two months ago to hunt mule deer with a friend of mine, we filed a similar plan with our families. It included all the details of what we were driving, where we were going, what route we were taking, when we would arrive and leave, phone numbers to hospitals and police dept. in the area, drivers license and vehicle plate numbers, our cell phone numbers, and even the gear we were hauling with us.
This may sound silly or even stupid, but it could save your life if you are ever in the situation as these two men are in right now. With firearm deer season starting this weekend in Michigan I hope and pray that everyone who reads this that is going out hunting will file a similar plan with their family before they head to the woods.

Hey Mike-I posted this alert on my own blog. Hopefully once the word gets out more information will become available. My thoughts and Prayers go out to these guys and their families.

It is an excellent habit to get into. I always let the wife know where we are going, and what time we plan to be back. It just makes sense.
I hope they find these two gentlemen safe and sound.
