That's really interesting that F&W Fitkins said this cow kill was not wolf caused. First thing I noticed is that the a$$ is eaten out. The horse that was recently killed in idaho when my neighbor was visiting her dad, same thing, they ate the a$$ out. Idaho F&G confirmed it as wolves first time they looked.
Also all the wolf killed elk photos, a good percentage have the a$$ eaten out just like that cow.
As a hound hunter and cougar expert, I have studied dozens of cougar kills, I can take one look and tell you that probably was not a cougar kill. I can also tell you that i have never seen coyotes only eat on something in that manner.
Based on other photos of wolf kills, it appears to be a wolf kill. Were wolf tracks found around the carcass?

I think a big problem in this state is that they do not have an experienced wolf biologist. This state needs a biologist that has on the ground experience in Idaho or Montana, so we can save making any mistakes that have already been made in other states.

Yep, there were a lot of wolf tracks around the cow and as you can see, the ground was all torn up for about 50 ft around the cow. As you know, cougars don't spend that much time killing game--it's a done deal for them in a short time. Coyotes would never be able to pull a full grown cow down and no bear tracks were found at the scene. So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it was wolves. I believe that F&W Fitkin embraces the environmentalists and their agendas. So yes, we do need a biologist that is not biased.
