Police have stepped up the search for a hunter missing for days in remote desert country in Western Australia.

Reginald George Foggerdy, 62, was last seen on Wednesday leaving the Shooter Shack camp, about 170km east of Laverton.

An air and land search was launched on Thursday after he failed to return to camp.

Up to 40 police and State Emergency Service volunteers will scour the desert on Saturday for signs of Mr Foggerdy, who had a rifle but no food or water.
