I used to watch cottontail rabbits do their mating dance down by the barn. But no more. I saw one rabbit out by the garden this past summer, and that was the only one. Half a dozen years ago, I had to check the deeper grass or weeds for baby rabbits before mowing. No more. The deer my wife thinks of as pets that graze in the front yard almost nightly are gone.
There's a lot of them around here with some reddish clumps of fur on their shoulders. My brother thought he was feeding foxes at the back of his city lot, but when I finally got a look at them, he couldn't believe me when I told him they were coyotes. At about 30+ pounds, I've never seen a fox that big.
It's time to take a stand.
