Anyone besides me noticing a huge increase in the number of cottontails around this year. Not only where we Re here north of Syracuse but likewise at my daughters home in Pittsburgh. I know they're cyclical but I've never seen this many.

You have never been to one of my bunny hunts then!! I know guys say they are cyclic but I don't believe that. We have a ton of rabbits around my place because we shoot a bunch of them each year. This leaves more food for the ones who make the winter or to help them through winter and then they have a few litters in the spring and early summer. Shawn

Several years ago in one of the hunting mags they had a study of rabbit cycle. It runs on a 5 year time frame, fist the rabbits are on the way back and each year the amount increase, then they seem to get Mange, who also then give it to the fox. I see the rabbit now are in that upswing, love to hunt them...
