A few weeks ago there was a video of a dead deer that was tied to a stake and left to decompose without big predators eating it, just worms, maggots, microbes, etc and it didn't take but a few days for it to dissappear.
I second that. I will rarely find some bones, but never a whole carcass unless its been poached, or ran over.
