The search for a 37-year-old hunter was suspended Saturday after four days of no clues.

Joel Presler, from Vancouver, has not been heard from since Nov. 11. Deputies found Presler's 2004 black Ford pickup on Wednesday off Forest Road 6035 in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, when the search began. He had been on a hunting trip in the Forlorn Lakes area.

On Saturday, the area was searched by a helicopter with the air wing unit from the King County Sheriff's Office, but no tracks or other clues were detected, Skamania County Sheriff Dave Brown said in a news release. Snow depths where Presler's truck was found were close to 36 inches and increased with elevation gain. Forecasted weather conditions "will continue to reduce the probability of having success at this time," Brown said.
