INKOM, Idaho (AP) - A large-scale search was under way to locate two missing hunters who were last seen Saturday near Inkom, Idaho.

The Idaho State Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2gCJ8Bl ) that family members believe the hunters are in the Inman Canyon area, northeast of Inkom, which is southeast of Pocatello.

The hunters were identified as 50-year-old Lonnie Labbee of Pocatello and 28-year-old Andrew Blomquist of Inkom.



Making the search urgent was that Labbee may be experiencing heart problems and might need medical attention.

An emergency helicopter from Portneuf Medical Center was deployed Saturday night to search for the hunters and it was expected to be back in the air on Sunday morning.
