Weird finding in the woods
This morning I went out for a few hours to hunt and scout. I'm about a mile off the logging road checking out an area that has elk. I drop into what once was a swamp, but is more of a meadow now. Walking the edge of the meadow, I come across a collapsed Coleman tent. If I had to guess, I'd say it has been there for a couple years. There were lumps under the tent so my first thought is "Oh crap, there's a body in there!" I grab a stick and poke around a bit to make sure I'm not about to engage a **** or skunk. I unzip the tent and find the camping gear. Moldy chewed sleeping bag with mouse nests, lantern, mouse chewed paperback, intact gallon water container, beef jerky bag, and some beer cans. I can't think of a reason why someone would abandon their entire camp unless they were dead.
On a side note, should I call the sheriff?

When our governing officials dismiss due process as mere semantics, when they exercise powers they don’t have and ignore duties they actually bear, and when we let them get away with it, we have ceased to be our own rulers.

Yes, it could be nothing, or someone missing for a long time. Any I.D. found?

Yep, let them sort it out.
Might be nothing or it might be a piece to a puzzle.

If you call in the morning you'll probably be stuck most of the day. But I think you have to call.
One thing I'll advise though is don't let your truck get blocked in by sheriffs cars or whatever. I found a dead guy once and once I was blocked in by coroners, etc. I was there for the duration.
Hiking with a LEO...my favorite thing!

Yeah, fun isn't it, some act like you lured them out there to harm them.
Pretty uneventful.

That is good, break out the metal detector and give the area a good once over.
That's a great idea.

Not while I was there...
