A MAN who died during a hunting trip in the Northern Territory is understood to be Craig Jensen from Moranbah.
According to an article in The Morning Bulletin, the 50-year-old was hunting with a friend about 110km from the town of Nhulunbuy last Thursday, when he didn’t return to their camp.
It is understood¬†the man’s friend returned to camp after being affected by the heat, but the Moranbah man never returned.
Northern Territory media reported the area the pair had been hunting in was known for crocodiles and wild buffalo.
A NT Police spokesman told media it was “pretty wild terrain”.
“It was thought that both were well equipped for bushwalking, but we became concerned when there was an emergency beacon and he did not activate it,” the spokesperson said.
It’s understood the man used to live in Nhulunbuy, but had moved to Moranbah.
His wife and daughter were expected to arrive at Nhulunbuy yesterday.
The man’s body was discovered on Sunday following days of air and land searches.
Meanwhile a NT police spokesperson said it’s understood he succumbed to the elements due to the extreme heat.
