Was checking traps this morning and we had a snow yesterday afternoon and evening got in the teens last night but not really cold . so I'm driving along a gravel road and went over a hill and seen pants shirt ect them on side of road farther a man naked laying there dead . I call Law they said probably hypothermia . it sure was creepy.

Oh man that’s a bad deal

Bad deal all around.

Some drug makes people do that I've heard.

Somebody probably killed him

Wow, I'd hate to find that. I won't even look in sealed buckets or trashbags in the ditch, I don't wanna know!

Some people strip off their clothes while they are dying from hypothermia.

This

What makes them do that? Do they feel hot? I know you stop shivering when you get cold enough.

Found a dead person in a car that was missing for 2 months back in the 90's...That stuff stays with you.

There was a guy who own a 40 acre piece of woods about 2 miles from my house. I trapped some coon and beaver out of there for him. One night I got a call from his daughter who lived in the Twin Cities that she hadn't been able to reach him for several days. This was around 10:00PM. I was getting ready to go to bed. Could I check to see if he was home? My first thought was, could he have been in the woods and got hurt? So, decided to check there first since his house was 20 miles away.

He had a road that wound around a few corners in the woods. As I rounded the last curve, there sat his pickup. I thought, this doesn't look good. I called out his name several times with no response. I grabbed my flashlight, walked around his truck and there he was laying, his shot gun on the ground along side of him. He left a note in the truck. He was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He had lost his wife several years prior to ovarian cancer.

The worst part of all was having to call his daughter. The deputy sheriff on scene offered to call, but I said I could do it. She wasn't surprised; he had been really despondent the last few times she spoke to him and she was worried about him.

I found a guy that got his head cut off and was burn in the natural forest back in the 90’s. Cops said it looked like a drug deal gone bad. After they ID the body he was a known drug dealer. He was 2 miles from a road.

My friend and I was fishing on Mississippi River and found a guy in a log jam. I don’t think they ever I’d that guy.

Anything in his wallet?

One word, drugs!

I hear bodies are still turning up here and there from the Katrina flood.

Old hoarder the house had trails through it to walk, unopened food/milk/can goods/ papers on the floors knee deep with 3 dogs dies in front of a heated fan. Good thing he was wearing a windbreaker and jeans I had to go home and change my outfit the decomp odor was penatrating.

A friend of mine and I were driving down a gravel road one morning heading out to do some bird hunting. I just happen to look out the window and there was a body in the road ditch. We stopped and had a long conversation about backing up. My buddy didn't want to. We finally got backed up and it was a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) dressed up mannequin. What a relief, but my adrenaline was pumping!

I later found out why my buddy didn't want to back up. He had been fishing on the Wapsi river in Iowa before I'd met him. He had taken his boat upstream to fish, but once to the area, he found dive teams, search boats, etc that were searching the river for someone. He went back downstream to fish and stay out of their way. He said the 1st place he pulled up to fish, there was a dead naked lady staring up at him from the brush. He said he'd never forgot it. He was really shaken just telling me about it.

Pretty sure meth does that too. A young couple I've heard, at a reservation once got stuck in the snow decided to walk and got hot. Stripped off their clothes and froze to death

when the skunk man complains of odor you know it was bad.

I was the only one not complaining it was what it was, no complaining would change that! Just getter done.

was pulling nets on the cumberland river one morning with another fella. Water had been a little high with lots of junk floating. As we were pulling a net something kept hitting the boat. I went to the side to move it away and there was a body staring at me. I about ran out of the boat. We towed her to the side of the river and tied her up to some bushes. The sheriffs office was right off the river so we went there to report it. They and the local mortician met us back at the boat. Gave us a body bag and told us to be careful as the body might come apart from being in the water so long. My buddy got back out of the boat and told them they could go fetch her. I went along to show them where she was. Not something I ever wanted to see again. Sadly it wasn't the last time I have had to deal with dead bodies.
