Cool find, sorry that a deer had to die at the hand of a wolf, but still cool find.  Thanks for posting pics.

Northeast Wa? Nice pic and yes it does piss me off. That sucks ass.

Hate to say it, but it doesn't look like the wolf killed it, just looking at the tracks in the pic--is there more to the story?

THats whats left of a chewed skull that was dropped there in the snow.

Yep that pretty well pisses me off.  Were you up in the north east corner?  Or was this the lookout packs doing?

OK--Don't get me wrong-I dislike wolves as much as anybody, but that still doesn't prove that the wolf killed the deer.  It might have been wounded and ran off to die elsewhere.  Wolves are opportunists like any other predator.  Why expend energy to chase someting down, when it's already there?

              got to agree with this guy.  freshish wolf tracks on snow that is burying an old rack with no carcass?  im not pro wolf by any means but come on, that pic doesnt prove the wolves killed it.  in fact saying those tracks prove its a wolf kill would just show poor tracking skills, general inability to read sign

OK, be happy there were that many wolves running the woods.  Actually don't think I said, here is a wolfkill.

I'm not happy that there are ANY wolves running around in the woods.  There's a reason they were exterminated years ago.  And you are right-you never said it was a wolf kill.  But the heading on your post was rather provocative.  Wolves have been here in the Northwest all along, but not in the numbers they are now.  20 years ago a buddy and I were Chukar hunting west of Waterville, and we saw the tracks of a pair of wolves in the fresh snow coming across a wheat field and hunting along the edge of the sage.  I followed the tracks to the breaks of the Columbia River to try to see them, but never did.  You can bet that I kept my dog really close to me the rest of the hunt.
