Why aren’t the woods just chock full of bones?

396 views

When I was a kid, we used to explore the woods all the time. I came across a couple dead mice or birds in my time, but they were always recently deceased.

But tons of animals live and presumably die in the woods. Why aren’t the woods covered in deer and bear and raccoon skeletons? Where are all the bones going?

I mean you happen upon bits and bobs of dead animals in the woods sometimes, or in your yard, if you live near the woods. I would say it was simple happenstance you didn’t run across more or you didn’t live in the wildest or most rich forest? I lived right up against the ass of a National Forest in a tiny little town and occasionally found stuff or my great uncle who wandered around in the woods did.

Before he died last year he found probably hundreds at least of deer antlers and stuff he would just pick up and carry home and hang up or make into knife handles. Who knows how many he didn’t like or didn’t suit him that day. He probably also ran across a lot of other stuff he didn’t mention.
