Another article stated that there were canned foods and other clues that they had been living off the land for a while.
What's interesting is that the bodies weren't scavenged and picked apart by coyotes or mountain lions.
I wonder when the snow melted enough to uncover them.

Lol.
Living off the land, huh? Chris McCandless situation?
I still call it The Jake.
Dyatlov Pass sequel?
Unusual they’d all starve to death right next to each other without trying to walk out. Caught by early snow? Gave up?
It's Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Erhardt, and their love child..
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Supposedly a coyote won’t eat Mexican

Well they don't have any tortillas.
Don't be silly, everyone loves Mexican. More likely from upstate NY, to bitter tasting for wild animals.
Being found dead together might make sense if they were stranded by heavy snow, and staying in a somewhat less uncomfortable location seemed like a better idea than trying to travel during ~1 mile per day ground conditions. Decomposing for a while under snow might also explain why scavenger animals didn't bother with them, having no access until they were past freshness date.
Anyone have the GPS or approx location?
Working in the woods west of Creston along the border near the headwaters of the Priest R, crew came across a camp that had spent the winter and appeared very ‘quiet’. Dude was decomposing inside his tent. Well provisioned but somebody found him and determined he hadn’t run far enough from whatever debt was owed. US citizen so US border patrol was involved.
Critters left the scene pretty much alone over the winter and early spring.
He had a bullet pass through his cranium, was well provisioned to spend an extended amount of time, and no indication that his own ‘provisions’ attributed to his demise.
The cops on either side never shared the report, that’s just first hand knowledge of the state he was found. Take it for what it’s worth.

That road sees snowmobile traffic. Walking about a mile would get you to a summer home that you could break into if you were dying and needed better shelter. Walking ~6 miles would get you to the plowed road trailhead. Like I said, it gets enough snowmobile traffic it wouldn't be that hard to get somewhere even if you didn't have skis or snowshoes.
TeleTips readers might recall that I discovered a deceased man in a winter sleeping bag, while I was descending from a multi-day ski tour in the Whitney area. He'd been buried under snow from around January until April when I found him. He seemed to have been undisturbed, even though his food bags had been thrashed through by animals (probably during the spring thaw not long before I saw him).
Smell of a person is a pretty big turn off for a lot of scavengers.
If I ever have to leave a critter out overnight while hunting, I'll put my t-shirt over it. Never have lost anything to coyotes or others yet.
Did any of them happen to have pocket meat on them?
