Where're Deorr's cowboy boots then? They are oversized and definitely would have fallen off if a cougar took him.

I think multiple vehicles were taken to the campsite. At least 2 and maybe even 3. Here is why I think that.
I had mentioned before but I think it is important to emphisize about the vehicles. Here is my conclusion based on seeing the 1 picture of what we think was the black truck.
The black truck looked to me to have a 1/2 extended cab and not a full extended cab. I have a friend that has one and the back seats are NOT really real seats in those 1/2 extended cabs. They are these mini-half seats that pull down sideways and you basically have to sit at an angle to be comfortable.
So with such a long drive to the campsite and with the great grandfather not being too health according to something that was mentioned I think there is no way all 5 people took just the 1 truck.
I think there were at least 2 vehicles and if Great grandpa still drove then maybe the friend even drove his own vehicle to meet everyone there and that would mean there could be 3 vehicles.
The multiple vehicles are important because if the friend took his own vehicle then we do not know anything about the movements of that vehicle right at the time the boy went missing.
For example. Did he volunteer to drive off and go get help right at the time the boy went missing and was his vehicle searched good before he left in case the boy decided to climb in it before he took off.
Or other infinite number of scenerios with another vehicle or even 3 vehicles being there.
The statistics on this wiki page would bear that out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_cougar_attacks_in_North_America
it breaks out to 4 adult males (18 y.o. +)
and 21 women and children
Yep, 20 in a hundred and twenty years.In this link:

20. jmho
That's what I'm thinking too. If they said the boy went missing while they were setting up camp, it would be somewhat believable, but that's not the story.
Maybe they already had the campsite from the day before and just came back from a supply run. Or the 2 Deorr's were the only one's who went to the store.
You don't go to a campsite and then drive back out over a dirt road for 40 minutes to get supplies.
Maybe someone was around their camp while they were away.
Years ago, I had a friend who was training as SAR, they had put the thought into my head. I do not know if bringing in a family dog is a good idea when SAR is also called in but IMO the family pet may be able to find something.
Thank you. While I've read a lot of the early articles, I have not been able to read them all. We were sharing them on a missing and unidentified persons FB page I run with a friend. We've been very busy between little Ember Graham, the little girl found deceased on a beach in Mass plus little DeOrr; then add in our older cases..
We do not know how much bigger they are then his foot. If they are like most parents of kids that age, if he takes a 7 1/2, they could be an 8 or 8 1/2.
It was the beginning of July, I don't know how wet or dry the ground is there but they may not see foot prints.
A person in my community was killed by a cougar. There were people not far away didn't hear anything. The cougar jumped on her from behind and bit into the back of her neck, killing her instantly.
I'm not saying that's what happened in this case, but I think people are using more imagination than research.

Yes but in order to be carried away, the wild animal has to drag the victim and in our case there is no sign of little Deorr being dragged. I repeat, there is NO signs whatsoever or prints, or blood, or ANYTHING. Again, I would like to know if anyone puts Deorr at the campsite that day, any witnesses?

I've done extensive reading on animals attacks and I believe, contrary to many experts, that cougars take more children and small women than they realize.
MOO
From the wiki article it said there have only been 20 verified kills in NorthAmerica by cougars in over 100 years.
I know many would not have even been known about. But that #doesn't make me think a cougar or any "wild" animal took this boy.

>At least 20 people in North America were killed by cougars between 1890 and 2011, including six in California. More than two-thirds of the Canadian fatalities occurred on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Fatal cougar attacks are extremely rare and occur much less frequently than fatal dog attacks, fatal snake bites, fatal lightning strikes, or fatal bee stings.<
