Man Pulls Gargantuan Bone Of Legendary Ice Age Creature Out Of River, And All Of A Sudden, This Is On My Bucket List

Now I’ve covered some exotic hunting, but this is on another level.

So, apparently there is this prehistoric-bone hunter, or fossil hunter, whatever you want to call him. Taking place at a river around Ravenwood, Missouri, per the New York Post, he discovered a gargantuan femur (thighbone) of a mammoth or mastodon. That’s according to him.

And it’s not even that he just found the thing, the man pulled it out of the water to cement his discovery, and it’s just an overall awesome scene.

I’ve always been infatuated with the ice age ever since I played an old video game called “Carnivores: Ice Age” when I was a young lad. Man, that game was such a classic, you could even hunt for Yeti!

An absolute gem for its time:

But after seeing this guy find, and then pull out, a mammoth/mastodon bone, I’ve gotta slap something like this on my bucket list. I’ll wait until I get rich though so I can hire a team, screw doing it like this by myself … lmao … I wouldn’t even know where to start.

At the same time though, I’m into so much stuff, where on earth would I find the time?
