Manawatu Police with the assistance of a member of the public have located missing Bulls man, Stephen Walker, who was last seen on Wednesday 14 May, 2014.
Stephen was found alive in a hay barn at the foot of the Ruahine Ranges just after midday today.
The member of the public was out checking their property when their dog alerted them to the presence of a person in the hay barn. They then called Police immediately and Stephen was located a short time later.
"I want to thank the public, local media, and Stephen's family and friends for helping us with the appeal to find him," says Sergeant Andy Brooke.
Stephen is in a responsive state but will be assessed by medical staff in due course.
