Just by the look of the paw I would say that is no dog or no wolf.   Looks like a bear paw to me.  :twocents:

The gray hair may have come from the contents of its stomach.

Definately a bear.

That is really cool. Feel lucky that you found a pretty near complete bear skeleton, with so many bears in the woods I bet not more than a couple guys on here can say they found a bear skull let alone a whole skeleton, Great find
