animals and carts/wagons

[Mogyui]

I had spent about 30 minutes finding and killing 4 wild boar and 2 seals, and loaded them into the cart as I killed them. about 20 minutes later when I had gotten back to my place to unload the animals, they all turned into skeletons. not sure if there is a random counter for the degredation of animal corpses in carts/wagons but this was kinda crappy, since I am in dire need of wild boar

and, my 2 seals that were killed turned into red deer skeletons

Did you, by chance, swap the cart by accident?

This sounds like the most likely explanation.

Did not swap carts, I only had the one cart V.V either way the things that turned int odeer happened to be 180ish Q so yey for those bones. It isnt the first time things disappeared from my cart, so I figured it may be somthing to look into in the future

Swapping carts is really the only logical explanation. You may have picked up someone else's cart left out in the wild, as they frequently are.
Not a bug.
