Things may be different now, but for some species like bears the hunter could take them back to the US without any permit as long as they had a hunting licence and they personally took the hide and skull with them across the border. If it had to be shipped to them things got more complicated and I believe a cites permit was needed. Bear bacculum or any claws not attatched to the hide couldn’t go across the border. I thought it was the same for wolves unless the US has some different import laws for them, but I could be wrong. Haven’t been involved in that sort of thing for a few years. Some outfitters may be able to boil and clean a wolf skull or provide the hunter with the equipment to do so. I would definitely shoot a wolf if you have a chance, it’s usually much more difficult to get a shot at a wolf than a moose.
