Gratman & jaycocreek,
First, I have no plausable explaination for the apparent lack of finding remains as physical evidence. Surely, there must be some out there, but for reasons that no one has yet concluded, the location(s) of such evidence has not been determined so far. It has been suggested over the years that they may hide thier dead, which would account for at least some of the lack of remains being found. Bones and antler sheds can last for quite some time, but most are generally reduced in a few years depending on climate and the types of animals that inhabit a given region. Personally, I have made numerous attempts to determine the whereabouts of remains that might have been "stashed" by still living animals of this type, but have not even managed to stumble onto anything substantial in my efforts. I continue to look each year and it may be that if there are any pieces out there, I could come across something of interest, time will tell.
Jayco, I recall that account from your previous post of it on another board. It is interesting to note that it is ver batum to the first account on this second telling.
There are many unanswered questions where this animal is concerned, and they may never be answered. However, the first hand accounts of encounters and the tangible physical evidence associated with them continues to be reported each year.
