I can only hope my death is as good of a death as this guy's.

I sort of have to call BS though. For bones to get to that point they need to be there for years. Heck, I have a dead deer from last year that still has rotting flesh on it nearly a year later. Nobody went looking for this missing guy? 

[land 1]

all depends on on weather and what was picking on it and maybe it was there for several years,,, why do u assume no one looked???

It was pretty common at one time to stage similar "incidents" ....

This is actual photo early 1900s in montana a forest ranger found the body and a jammed 45 /70 as well as a large bowie knife..  they tried to figure out who it was but the locals only rememberd a french trapper who dissappeared a few years before..

I posted this a few years ago ..im sure its still on site somewhere including newspaper article the photo is from

if it's 1900's montana then I don't call bs... but it looks like color or sepia or something?

Certainly better than dying of old age in a wheel chair, shitting yourself.

Probably a dispute over the killing shot. The guy who killed both the moose and the guy is still alive.
