Wow! I get to spend a fair amount of time there and its a cool place. You can walk through a prairie and find oyster shells and shark teeth and whale bones
Really cool area
Found a freshly killed deer up there a few years back and thought it was one that got away from a hunter but the head was completely gone and the body was cached in some brush and covered like a cat or bear would do. Ran and got a game camera and had visions of finally getting a panther on camera. Came back 3 days or so later and it was a bobcat. He would come eat on it and then lick itself, and then take a nap and go back to eating it again
Got tons of pics of it, and when I looked for the deer remains there was nothing to see, not a bone or a hoof or anything. Deer was 75 lbs or so and a buck, and had heard a bobcat can take down a deer, and they can. I think I posted pics here somewhere
