DEPUTY, Ind. (WISH) - The body of a missing Pendleton hunter was found by friend Saturday morning around 7:30 accordiing to officials.

Jon Widener left to go turkey hunting early Friday morning to travel to a private spot in Deputy, Indiana. His friend noticed his truck on the property when they arrived later in the afternoon to hunt.

As the day went on and they still hadn’t seen Widener, they figured something was wrong.

“They looked for him for sometime but were unable to locate him,” said investigating Indiana Conservation Officer Steve Miller.

Emergency services were contacted at 11:00 p.m. Friday.

Miller said, “Our search went on through the night but searching for someone fully camouflaged amid foliage by flashlight is less than ideal.”

There did not appear to be any visible injuries to Widener. No foul play is suspected.

Jefferson County Coroner Alice Jackson has scheduled an autopsy at approximately 2:00pm today to determine cause of death.

It's a good idea for all Hunters carry either a Walkie or Cell Phone incase something happens.

That is very sad. Prayers for the family.

I've got two apps on my IPhone that will give me a GPS reading. One is the Tag In and the other is Cabelas Hunt Recon. When I arrive at where I am hunting I can text my wife my location. That puts her more at ease
