Found a dead wolf

[mark-edmonton]

Nice find on the way into trapline this am. Dead wolf on the side of the rd! No damage. Must have been hit this morning. Probably a 2 year old nice colour. Will post a pic later from home. Time to break more trail and get a few sets out

Sweet! Gotta love it when they get dropped at your feet, sort of.

I've tried to salvage a few road kill critters over the years. Never found one that wasn't damaged though.

I wonder if it was poisoned and happened to die on the road? Once you skin it you may find some internal damages that explain its death. Cool windfall for you.

[mark-edmonton]

Don't think it was poisoned found it near the oil sands industrial area! Can't find and breaks or skin damage. Need to find or make a stretcher before I thaw it. I think it was hit by a vehicle. It was not frozen solid when I found it. Just stiff

Here is a pic. Not a great one.

Looks kind of mangy. Must be just the pic.

[mark-edmonton]

Team Anzac you from Anzac? He looked a little that way but I think he was hit by a truck. I need to get a stretcher and brush him out and have a good look. Don't really care either way as it was a free find.

[mark-edmonton]

He actually has a full dense coat!

Find a wolf... something that doesn't happen often. Fall 2011 I hear 2 elk bugling in the middle of the night, and quickly 3 wolf pack started howling. Half an hour later I heard the wolves again, but closer to where the elk were. So in the morning I went in the general area where I heard those critters over night and found a dead wolf, no bullet hole. My guess is, he probably got killed by an elk.

has a full belly, probably not killed by elk,would suspect it wasn`t following the packs credo.also more than one pack means someone is gonna get it.have seen spots where the packs cross trails an the area looks like a left over battle zone.
