Could defenetely have been coyotes that tore into that cow.They get very brave when they pack up.I camped in a nearby forest two years ago with my dog { no tent just sleeping bag} and I woke up at around 11pm to see coyotes circling around me.My sheperd was going nuts.The coyotes got a bit too close for comfort so I packed it up.That year I heard that pack almost nightly ,howling and yelping for hours late at night.
Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was coming to the mountains to trap and be a mountain man. Acted like they was gut-shot. Says, "son, make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Them mountains is for animals and savages." I said, "Mother Gue, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world." And by God I was right.
