Anything' s possible... When I got to the last place he bedded down I walked in a spiral starting close and ending up about 100 yards away... couldn' t see a trace of anything. I' m SO CONFUSED. This is unlikely, but the only other thing I can think is that the owner of the land where I' m hunting has other people hunting on it as well. And they' ve been there for a lot longer. They were not pleased that the owner is letting us on the land (get over it, it' s 1,000 acres there' s plenty of room). I wonder if one of them didn' t stumble onto it dead and walk off with it while I was waiting for it to expire. I knew they were " in the area" but not exactly where...
