I was tracking a single elk track through the timber once, looked a day old or so, came across a bear that had killed and half eaten it, but the elk was buried in the grass to hide from scavengers. Predators both cougar and bear do this.
The bear was a pig, and had two holes, one in his fore head skin and one in the shoulder. He came home with me.
Would liked to have seen that fight! So I think these were not predator killed animals or they would be buried.
This was a black bear in Oregon?
