That last post of yours about how to find lots of bones is really great ! Makes me wonder though, do you ever find recently deceased animals ? they are most of what i've personally found, and i currently have three decomposing in my garden. Just curious if you come across any yourself!
Oh, all the time!
Some people are skeptical that I would find so many clean bones. But selection bias affects everyone’s social media (and mainstream media), no matter how you try to keep things accurate.
I don’t post things that I don’t think are interesting, nor things I think would upset/scare people away (unless it’s REALLY interesting and has enough warnings) and I don’t want to get banned from social media either. I don’t want to give the impression that bone hunting is so simple you can find 15 clean skulls in 51 seconds (usually) but I cull out the naughty stuff, keeping the clean pretty stuff.
So yes, I find lots of gross smelly fleshy carcasses! Spilled organs and blood and certain body parts we don’t like to see! But I cannot post them.
