Four search teams, including Land Search and Rescue volunteers, have been looking for him since Friday.

They have been focusing on the upper reaches of Regina Creek, and the man's last known campsite.

Hans Christian Tommarck, 27, went hunting in the Karangarua Valley near Fox Glacier on 12 May and did not return as expected last week.
