Search and rescue officials say they have found a second canoe paddle and will continue to search over the weekend for two hunters missing in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta since Sunday.
North Baldwin Sheriff's Search and Rescue spokesman Matt Burton said the paddle was found Friday about a mile south of where the first paddle was found Tuesday.
Burton says searchers will be back on the water Saturday morning despite forecasts for bad weather in the area.
Hurricane Bayou residents 29-year-old Alan Clemons and 23-year-old Jason Brown were last seen paddling south on the Tensaw River about 1:30 p.m. after telling relatives they were going squirrel hunting. Their canoe was found swamped later in the day.
