The mystery began when Hedges became separated from the two friends who had accompanied him on a hunting trip into the Crazies. “Archery hunting is not really a group effort,” Ronneberg pointed out. “I think he went off and was going to do his own thing.”
Hedges reportedly radioed his friends to let them know he had missed a turnoff back to their camp. His plan was to seek shelter near the Sunlight Lake area. “They apparently had a hunting camp the previous year,” Todd said, “and it was our understanding he was headed to that cache.”
Said Ronneberg: “The original plan was that he was going to go up to that cache to get a sleeping bag and some other stuff and then come back. He radioed them that he had missed the turnoff and they told him he needed to come back up the trail and come back into camp. That was the last time they heard from him.”
While the hunters became separated on Sunday, Hedges wasn’t reported missing until his wife, Christine, notified the Sweet Grass County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, Sept. 10.
Aaron Joseph Hedges, a 38-year-old, well-regarded hunter from Bozeman, was last heard from on Sept. 7, 2014, and to this day he has not been found. Even after the discovery of his bow and backpack in mid-June briefly offered hope, the case remains open, as law enforcement officials attempt to find answers to a riddle that may never be solved.
Sweet Grass County officials are awaiting the identification of human remains that were found north of Big Timber on Friday.
The remains were found on private land west of Melville by the landowner, according to Sweet Grass County Undersheriff Alan Ronneberg.

Authorities believe they may be of Aaron Joseph Hedges, a 38-year-old Bozeman man who went missing in September 2014.
In June 2015, a man doing fencing work in the mountains found some items that belonged to Hedges, including a bow, field gear and a hunting license.
