That is because of farm and woodlot practices. Buy a chainsaw see more game, I gurantee. Most woods looks like a city park. Great for squirrels. Bad for upland game birds and bunnies. Also, ask an farm how many rabbits they find dead after they blast the fields with fertilzer in the spring when rabbits are whelping. I see it while shooting g-hogs in the spring. Take time and look around.
