plus we have a lot of wolves now, so many Idaho just opened up our first wolf season this fall.
It was probably a winter kill.....heavy snow killed this bad boy after he was worn down from the rut.
As far as the wolves....you definately know when you have a wolf kill. You will only find a bunch of hair and maybe a couple leg bones. If you do find the skull from a wolf kill, the nose will be chewed off.
