Wolf Kill?

[Fowlweather25]

 :yeah:hind quarters are cleanly cut from the pelvis and shoulders are missing. Skinned very neatly, unlike a cat. Either poached or muzzy/archery. Definitley not an animal kill.

Pretty much exactly what my kill site looked like when I walked away from it this year.

SOme of you guys sound like wdfw drones.......making it a crime scene as your personal default.  Carcass has to be left somewhere, why pack it out if you dont need to.  I know I would not pack that out just because.

Just a boned out carcass...simple as that.

I'd bet $1000 bucks that was a archery kill.  I find 2-3 elk a year with the arrow still in them.

The fact that you find lost animals has no relevance in this thread. Anyone with any sense knows this animal was killed by a hunter and boned out. No predator would leave an elk like this.

well for one I can give evidence and guess on several things! the legs are usually dragged out the socket so not seeing legs is not unusual! the ribs are not eaten so probably rules out wolves! its not covered or looks like it has been so I would probably rule out cougar! the hide looking like it was skinned is a big flag that it a bear has eaten on it! bears will peel the skin like it was skinned with a buck knife! so that leads me to believe someone deboned the meat and did a good job, or it was one that wasn't found! it amazes me the way people yell poached!

Cleanest wolf kill I have ever seen.  Likely someone dumped it there after punching their tag.
