FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – New insights have surfaced regarding the circumstances surrounding the Selma hunter who was recently rescued after being missing for several weeks in the rugged mountains of Fresno County.

One of the individuals who discovered the hunter’s vehicle described the location as a “very challenging section” accessible only to vehicles built for extreme off-roading, known as “rockcrawlers.”

Bryce Anderson, a member of the off-roading club Hill Hoppers, shared that his group encountered Ron Dailey’s truck on Sunday. This discovery came just a day after Dailey was located by a group of hunters on the Swamp Lake Trail.

“Our club was conducting its annual trail closure run, a routine where we ensure the area is clear before locking the gates behind us,” Anderson explained. “That’s when we unexpectedly found his truck about six miles in from the South Gate.”

Those six miles, he says, are typically reserved for off-road vehicles.

“[It’s a] very gnarly section of trail where only well-built rock crawlers can go,” he told YourCentralValley.com on Monday. “We were in disbelief that a stock truck could make it in that far.”

But he was not surprised that the truck could not make it back.

“It was badly damaged, had a spare tire on, and the front end was lifted up on a high lift jack,” he said. “The back window was broken out when we found it. I assume from trail damage. It looks like he removed the passenger seat and was sleeping in the cab.”

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office says they will be interviewing Dailey in the coming days to find out more about what happened.
