Spring has fully arrived and with it, young prey animals. Calves and fawns are appearing and can make an easy meal for your wolf. However, beware of the calf or fawn’s mother…
“Newborn big game animals fall into two categories: followers and hiders. Followers include bison calves and bighorn sheep lambs, which follow their mothers shortly after they’re born. Hiders, such as mule deer fawns and elk calves, do the opposite — they hide, alone, for most of the day.” – Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
