Best Answer

The hindquarters are the most unprotected part of a bison, and the most vulnerable, unlike the forequarters. The forequarters are very hairy (unlike the hindquarters) and an area where a wolf has a much higher chance of getting gored by a bison's horns than if he struck at the flanks and rump.
