After I posted, I realized that the rifle may have just been left on the
ground and covered with brush...
then many years later the tree grew and the barrel of the rifle came up
with it.

Trees don't grow that way...

What are you talking about ?

My speculation is that there was NO tree at the time the rifle was
dropped but later the tree 'came up' from the ground.


How the hell else does a tree grow....from the sky down???

Consider this. In your distant youth, you carved your sweetheart's name in a
heart of the side of some tree. Forty years later, is the heart going to be
20' up?
