Identify the killer?

[KFhunter]

I just sent an Email to the true owner of that pic, if it's really you Cougartail what did I say?  cut/paste it here.


I don't think that's going to happen, because the owner of that picture lives near Boise ID.  Not Yakima as you put in your bio.

[Cougartail]

Never said it was me. Just a picture I remembered from a site I was looking through a while back.

By the way, do you think that big boy and 2 or 3 of his buddies are going to  leave  that coyote intact? lol

I didn't see anywhere cougartail claimed that was him in the photo...I took it as him making fun of your suggesting he was a "wolf hugger"...in the sense that if he shot one and held it he would look like the guy in the photo

Oh BS 

No real hunter is going to post a picture of someone else's kill without a disclaimer stating such.  Every thread I've ever seen on here hunters are very hesistant to post a pic of their friends kill - and if they do they make sure to indicate so but normally they say "so and so made a nice kill, I'll let them post the picture"  or "so and so asked me to post this for them"

NEVER does anyone grab a random image off the net and post it as their own or something like this will happen, and now you've been exposed as a fraud.

Had I not called you out on it you'd have left that image there and moved on accepting credit for doing something you personally abhore in order to gain standing here - so you can continue to derail, change direction or sabotage any thread that hits under a search for "wolf".

Wrong, If you were reading and paying attention I stated "I have never killed a wolf" but I have definitely tried to when I was in Alaska. You remind me of the nitwits on radio/tv who love to take things out of context and bend them to fit their agenda and talking points.

As for frauds, I can tell your time spent in the outdoors is very limited.

There is always one guy in the room who doesn't get the joke..

I am 100% certain that this thread is hilarious.  If I'm ever in need of an expert, I always know there's a few thousand on this forum ready and willing to answer my questions with a high degree of certainty.

That being said, I'm 100% certain that it was the butler, in the library, with a candle stick...that killed that coyote.

I keep thinking bird...not sure why but I keep envisioning a big ass bird eviscerating that dog....something about the entrail removal says birds....now I can see a bear doing the neck snapping and intitial killing.....I used to rid a horse that had been mauled by a bear ...yes the mauling was witnessed and the bear was killed.....but the bear grabbed the mare at the withers/base of neck,  the cougar kills I know of its always been head/neck...and wolves/dogs its usually flanks/hindquarters.  So based on my limited knowledge i would buy the bear kill...but think the majority of organ removal was done by birds

If it were bear the moose would have been buried, I see no sign of bear on the moose.

In any other thread where wolves are not mentioned you can find very good knowledge on this forum, but as soon as one person mentions "wolf" it shows up on a forum search and here comes the wolf advocates to misdirect the thread until you end up with something like this thread.

As far as I'm concerned, thank you all for your input. Some was very helpful as you brought up questions about the situation that I'd not thought of. My goal with this post was to become smarter than before and become a better woodsman. Others were not so helpful, but funny as I'm sure it was intended to be. The rest, I believe others have already spoke enough about.

I'm sure the trail camera's will have some information on them when I get up there to check again, however the killer by all the opinions here will remain a mystery. No matter what is on the camera at this point, will not answer the question, only what ended up there after the fact.

Thanks for the input.

we were discussing the coyote not the moose the moose is not buried so it is not a cougar cats bury their kills I know I have stepped on a few and it creepy as hell to realize you are standing in a cats dining room.... bears just eat like dogs or pigs they seem to dive in chow down and crap and maybe nap....just my experience...

Bears also bury what they don't eat. And they chew bones up. They will also pee all over the place and stink things up. My brother and a friend each shot a nice bull moose in Alaska one year late in the day and gutted them and hauled his friend's out in an airboat that evening. When they returned the next morning, my brother's bull was gone, but there was a big drag trail they followed. They spotted an antler sticking out of a big pile of dirt and brush and headed to it and the bear jumped up from behind it and ran off from the noise of the airboat.  They recovered the moose and salvaged most of it. They said it really stunk around the area the moose had been buried.
