I don't know why they wouldn't.  No snow.  No wolves.  No hunters... :dunno:  Old age might get 'em...

I've heard rumors of wolves out in that area. Been there for over a year now

Seems unlikely, geographically speaking.  I don't think they have made it that far south yet.

Nice bull, I stop once in a while and look at them through my spotting scope, I have not seen them that close, there are a lot of bulls in that herd, and some nice ones.

I would imagine if the wolves were in the area the local ranchers would have already piped up, I used to whack a bunch of coyotes near the "area". The ground is to open for them not to have been seen or shot.
