It's early spring here in Montana.

We often see animals out cruising the fields in the early spring that we don't even get glimpses of except this time of year.

Coyotes are not an uncommon sight, but we don't usually see them in our pastures except in the early spring. The big carnivors are stalking voles and mice and anyother little morsel they can find to feed their bellies this time of year.

I know that they are hungry after a long winter and they are just doing what coyotes do. They haven't bothered our livestock but they still make me kind of nervous.
