i think predator numbers in general are going up pretty steadily...atleast on the western side of the state from what i noticed...we been seeing more foxes and yotes then ever...a couple years back i found bobcat tracks in SW venango county....i hunt alot in 2B..pretty populated.....so maybe they just got their old homes tore up and came to the land that we hunt.....but i think they are steadily on the rise...small game numbers seem to be going down too i think.....an area i hunt in venango county is usually loaded with grouse.....i found GREAT cover this winter with alot of food for them and didnt get a single flush...ill know more in the spring when im turkey hunting.....the drumming up there sounds crazy in the spring mornings.....
