A pair of hunters in their early 20s have been located after they were missing in Southland's Longwood Forest after they failed to walk out last night as expected.

Police say they were found by another hunter. 

The two men went into the south-eastern corner of Longwood Forest yesterday and texted family members last night to say they were lost and would stay the night.

They were not prepared for an overnight stay, and were wearing hunting clothing, with minimal food.
