Definetely wolves, and a great pic, very cool. We've got them back home too, plenty of them. Between the wolves and the resurgence of the bear population, the fawns have a hell of a tough road these days.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think this gives me enough ammunition to go buy a handgun for some extra comfort while traversing the woods in the dark. I already carry "bear pepper spray" but probably would feel better with something that goes boom ....haha when I'm bowhunting.
The fawn population seems to be thriving this year as opposed to last year where the previous hard winter in 2008 led to smaller family sizes. I'm getting "triples" on a few cameras.
Our turkey population is way down the past year which I blamed on the fishers but I may have another culpret now. I assume wolves will take out turkeys. Then again the winter of 2008 may have played the same ill effect that it had on the fawn population last year.
Guess that's nature.
