Spring Wildlife
If You Care - Leave Them There
May 28, 2010
Every spring Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks issues its traditional message to Montanans to leave fawns and other newborn wildlife where people find them. Wild animals commonly cache their young for periods of time to protect them from predators while the adults are feeding. Keeping dogs on a leash or otherwise under control is another big favor you can do to protect young wildlife. Montana law prohibits the capture, feeding, possession and harassment of wildlife for both game and nongame species.
