Yep. It's pretty wild to think about how many ungulates die at the hands of predators in their first couple months of life.
As the number of wolves and bears increase each year in the boreal forest and the number of ungulates decrease, it's easy to see why the farmland moose and elk are doing so well.
I'm glad we can do our part to knock down as many of those predators as possible
