Grouse hunting with my dog along a border river between MN and Canada I found the body of a man who was reported missing over the summer by his camping partner. His body had been stuck in the current under a falls, thus eluding the search team. When the water level dropped in October his body had floated out and was hung up along the bank where I found him. He was pretty pasty and swollen, also missing most of his face. His arms were flopping unnaturally in the current, seemingly held onto his body by only his jacket. On the hike back out I didn't feel much like shooting anymore birds. I was a young man and had not seen a dead body in that sort of condition before.
It is a remote area with no vehicle access�.about an 8 mile round trip on nothing more than moose trails. I brought the sheriff's deputy back on foot later that day. A helicopter rescue was then called in to haul him out.
