Up here, we have coyotes howling all the time. Have had an outside cat that roams freely. Even in her elderly years (she's 16 now), she never has a problem, and couldn't climb a tree now to save her life!
We've also noticed this being a great year, mostly free from groundhogs, gophers and skunks. We've smelled a couple stinkers the past week or two, but nothing like usual! I string-trimmed some tall grasses and see there is now a small gopher mound. First sign I've seen of them on our place all year. Is much drier, so likely taking advantage of all the newly-dried real estate??
I had it explained to me a few years back by a wise, old trapper (who used to get some of the coyotes here), that everything goes in a cycle. He said it seems to be on about a 7-year cycle, at least around here. Every 7 years or so, there will be an abundance of predators and prey populations will dwindle. In other areas, there are less predators due to less prey, so the prey end up thriving. The wildlife is always on the move -- just very slowly.
Have seen many more hawks this year also, but few eagles or owls. Oh, and can't forget the wolves. Also, haven't had bear problems for some time now. Saw a cub on the road a month or two back, just across the road from us. Haven't been hearing elk the past 2 or 3 years either, and we usually hear them now and then throughout the non-winter months.
