A Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden is being praised for using his old-school, backwoods skills to find a missing boy.
The incident happened last November.
The boy ran from his middle school and vanished into a nearby marsh, resulting in a massive search effort.
Warden Austin Schumacher managed to pick up the boy’s trail while the rest of the searchers headed off in the wrong direction.
Schumacher carried the child piggyback for a mile, getting him to safety as darkness was falling and a threatening snowstorm finally hit.
