That looks kinda familiar. I accidentally slept in a deer graveyard one night, in New Mexico. 😲😉 As you know, it can be a long way between towns, so camping out is pretty normal. I found out, why sensible folks stop to set up camp, BEFORE it gets dark out.
I couldn't see very well, even with a flashlight, but got into a stand of pines, and just rolled out my sleeping bag. In the morning, I realized I was right in a deer graveyard. There were bones from probably 10 or 12 deer, but thank goodness, nothing fresh. 🙄😁
It turned out fine, but since then, I make sure I stop & set up camp, while there's still plenty of light. 👍 No telling what else I "might" find.
