Interesting read on calf mortality, mt lions are extreme players in the game:

I would rather live with the lions then the wolves. I do know lions take a ton of game but I still am convinced wolves do way more damage.

Umm.... theres a choice? Here im surrounded by both. But yeah, i prefer the lions. The way they kill, generally quick and efficient vs wolves slow terrifying death with the prey being gutted and eaten alive, and the fact that a cat really eats what it kills to the point of burying the carcass and coming back again and again, vs wolves killing and quite frequently taking a bite or two then moving on to kill again....
