The commercial pilot was landing the tailwheel-equipped airplane on a remote off-airport landing site.

The pilot reported that he had not experienced any mechanical difficulties or failures with the airplane that may have contributed to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadvertent stall/mush during the final approach to land. Factors associated with the accident are the pilot's misjudged flare, and the rough and uneven terrain.
