OK--Don't get me wrong-I dislike wolves as much as anybody, but that still doesn't prove that the wolf killed the deer. It might have been wounded and ran off to die elsewhere. Wolves are opportunists like any other predator. Why expend energy to chase someting down, when it's already there?got to agree with this guy. freshish wolf tracks on snow that is burying an old rack with no carcass? im not pro wolf by any means but come on, that pic doesnt prove the wolves killed it. in fact saying those tracks prove its a wolf kill would just show poor tracking skills, general inability to read sign

Actually don't think I said, here is a wolfkill.

I'm not happy that there are ANY wolves running around in the woods. There's a reason they were exterminated years ago. And you are right-you never said it was a wolf kill. But the heading on your post was rather provocative. Wolves have been here in the Northwest all along, but not in the numbers they are now. 20 years ago a buddy and I were Chukar hunting west of Waterville, and we saw the tracks of a pair of wolves in the fresh snow coming across a wheat field and hunting along the edge of the sage. I followed the tracks to the breaks of the Columbia River to try to see them, but never did. You can bet that I kept my dog really close to me the rest of the hunt.

Bone, your freaking picture pisses me off! >:(
I have not seen wolf evidence in the woods where I have hunted for 30 years....until this last year. Wolves have not been omnipresent like some have suggested.

Also I'm not going to nitpick and consider alternatives because I KNOW those are wolf tracks and I KNOW wolves kill deer.
Cool picture :tup: of a sad story

Maybe that photo doesn't prove that those wolves killed that buck. But those wolf tracks in the snow implicates the presence of wolves in Washington, and THAT SHOULD PISS YOU OFF!!! If you are to politically correct to see the point he was making, than we as hunters don't stand a chance in Washington State. WOW I REALLY WANT TO THROW SOMETHING.

What do you expect of a State stupid enough to elect the Liberal Poster Boy (Jay Inslee) to be our next Governor?
To the libs, the Wolves are not the predators--WE ARE! :bash:

Just to have wolf tracks in our woods pisses me off, especially a pic of tracks that are near any dead deer. I relate the two. Many of you want a black and white diagram of the entire kill site with a chronology, to include pictures. I do not need this level of sophistication. I can just imagine...

You totally missed it, the wolf tracks are the issue here not the antlers! A 100 plus pound wolf eats a lot of meat. A whole bunch of 100 plus pound wolves eat a whole bunch of meat. They were gone, now they're back, and they will continue to multiply and multiply, that's the issue, not whether they happened to kill this particular deer.
