I had seen and heard wolves in the vicinity, lots of sign, and as i was beginning to field dress this deer.... i could hear them from opposite the meadow.... probably 500 to 600 yards out. I had a 2 km drag with a 250plus lbs deer.... and needed to lighten the load..... a proper caping job was the last thing on my mind, which is kinda a bummer but my taxidermist figures he can work with it. If not i'll get it done as a european mount. I went back for the hide and the front quarters in the moring having left them in game bags hanging 30 feet off the ground.
