RE: Cougars in Southern NY State
We usually set up a decent family sized veggie garden every spring.
normally we have rabbits in the area by what seems to be the hundreds. we have rabbit problems all summer long ....... normally.
not this summer. almost no rabbits and not one single problem in the garden with them.
normally you can look out over the field and see a rabbit some place anytime of the day. none at all this year. wood chucks either. normally have a few that reside in our fields up here.
deer counts way down from norm too.
could be with how much rain we had this spring i spose that many of the rabbit and ground animal population may have physically drowned with how much rain this spring brought as well as mid summer.
If anyone happens to locate a picture of approx 8 month old cougars.......please post one, hadn't found any on internet.
