[cool] Now, your in my neck of the woods! The preditors are really taking their toll on the small game here. The coyotes are getting really close to town. The wolves are pushing them out of the deer areas. Where I deer hunt there was rabbits everywhere 15 years ago. I haven't seen a track in the last ten. Our Deer herd has really been reduced the last couple of years. We had two really bad winters in a row and the wolves are just decemating our herd. Last year was the first year I haven't got my buck in almost 20 years. I've had coyotes behind the house the last three years. That was unheard of before. We spotted lots of deer carcasses this spring ,while fishing. If we didn't have Deer feeding programs here, there wouldn't be any deer at all. You can talk to anyone around here and you'll get the same story. Nobody believes the DNR, when they say they just migrated here. I got a good story about this, but I don't think there is enough room here.
