And Howler im not sure why its better in the spring around here but it is. I belive because they have to get food for their pups and they have to be out and about looking for food which for them isnt very abundant around here. And for your answer about the yote pups, yea i let them starve unless they make it somehow. I dont care if they starve they destroy everything when the get older anyway. They may be cute and helpless now but they get big and destructive.
