Maine Warden Service Rescues Missing 71-year-old Maine Man

The Maine Warden Service rescued a 71-year-old Fort Kent man who was missing overnight after he headed out fishing yesterday afternoon.

McClaren “Mickey” McBreairty, age 71 of Fort Kent, had told his wife yesterday afternoon that he was headed out fishing in the North Maine Woods, but when he didn’t return yesterday evening, she notified the Maine Warden Service at 10:30 last night that he was missing.

Game wardens were able to confirm that McBreairty did go through a North Maine Woods gate at around noon yesterday, but a search last night by game wardens in one of his favorite fishing areas revealed no sign of McBreairty. Game Wardens continued to search the area until approximately 3:00 a.m. this morning.

Game wardens resumed searching at 6:00 a.m. this morning with more game wardens, an Allagash Ranger, and a Maine Warden Service aircraft. At approximately 10:15 a.m. this morning, Game Warden Pilot Josh Tibbetts located McBreairty’s truck stuck on a washed out road alongside a beaver flowage off the Michaud Farm Road in Allagash.

Game Warden Kayle Hamilton was able to drive to the scene where he found McBreairty in the truck, a little tired but in good spirits. Game Warden Hamilton was able to get him out of the woods, and reunite him with his family.
