Yeah I was really intrigued with the story.
My guess is it's been there 30-50 years or something. Probably (I am surmising here) was lost by a Deer hunter sometime before the area became a National Park, not back in the late 1800's but you never know.

My Grandad was hanging out in that area in the late 1800's.
