The Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter was called out around 2.30PM to pick up a man with a leg injury.
The 48-year-old was in a party of four family members hunting deer in the Tokomaru River valley.
The man and his 13-year-old son had mild hypothermia and were airlifted to Palmerston North for treatment.
