The hunt is on for the person or persons who left out some food along the Bow Valley Parkway on the weekend, which attracted not only animals but photographers as well.
A park warden came across a wolf who was chowing down on a pile of food, which included a turkey carcass.
Not far away was a group of people snapping pictures, none of whom claimed responsibility.
There is speculation somebody deliberately put the food there in an effort to entice animals to the area, so they could be captured by the lens.
People are being reminded about the dangers of feeding wildlife; those who are caught disobeying the law could be slapped with a fine up to $25,000.
Anyone with information about Sundays incident is asked to call the parks department.
