Title: Canine Carcass
Post by: Easy-E on November 05, 2013, 10:22:21 AM: I stumbled across this in the wilderness - found it about 100 yards away from a ravaged elk carcass. My vet friend thinks its a wolf based on the size of the canine tooth. Oddly enough, I also found an old rusty shovel close by.......

Cheers!

Now as to what predator took it out, any guess is as good as mine. My thoughts are that this young wolf got injured while the pack was dragging down the cow elk, and the pack finished it off.
