Incredible capture.

Poor bull was just sick or weak and didn't realize it...dead.

If you zoom in on the photo you can see the tongue hanging out on the bull and it looks like the hind quarter has been bit and is bleeding.

But thats what they will tell us and that is what they want us to believe, that its pretty much the sick and dieing that are targets of wolves. I actually had a WDFW guy tell me that over in the Methow, he said they target "compromised" prey animals and the young, well at least for the "young", they are the future of our herds and as for the "compromised"....what a crock :bash:...I think thats a dead elk unfortunately, but like some have said, hopefully he got in a couple good kicks and maybe broke a jaw or put an eye out of one of those D@#$ things!

I wonder which he was, sick or old, or both. Wolves don't kill healthy bull elk. Anyone with an ounce of patchouli oil knows that.  :dunno:

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

If it was only 2 wolves, maybe still alive, but how many more were chasing him. I would say if there were even 1 or 2 more wolves hes dead for sure.

If it were a single wolf I'd give the edge to the bull.  That looks like probably a pack.

Statistically, I believe the answer to the original poster's question is without a doubt "Yes." But he may not be.
