Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Remember what Arnold said to the first predator when he got up close and personal? That. I'd still be happy tho...

Other that it’s face looking beat on did it look like it was making a living? Was it scrawny?

Had a little fat on him, but I'd consider him scrawny. Must have been a weak old man. Caught him in a coyote snare and he didn't fight it much. No kinks, very little alder chewing. Sleeping when I rolled up. He spent some time chewing (gumming?) on the snare. Was held by one strand when I got there. Apparently not strong enough to break one strand before I shot him?

I've caught two in coyote/ fox snares before and they kinked that cable like heck, and killed themselves fighting the snare pretty quick. Pretty sure this was his last winter even without my help.

P.S. I didn't say his hair was bad. He is just not a long haired wolverine. Got shorter hair, like some do.

You win. Those teeth look really old, indeed. Man, they live a hard life.

Cool old warrior. Crusty snow will pull a lot of the long hair out. We will start seeing that here soon mainly on the legs. 4 skinny legs sticking out from the long body hair.

Kind of my guess. I can't figure out why its nose is pink? Bad circulation? Rudolf syndrome? smile
