Most of the time when I find an animal skeleton in the woods the coyotes and other critters have spread the bones, hide, etc. around so much its hard to tell what if anything happened. The skull could be a hundred feet from the rib cage, and a hundred feet from the leg bones. I find it hard to believe that a warden could deduce whether it was a legal kill that was boned out, winter kill, or poached kill, if several months or even a whole winter have gone by.
