Mike, can you describe the decade cycle a little more. The reason I ask is about 5-7 years ago we started noticing some bad cases of mange in some of the dogs we called in. The dog numbers have been slowly declining since then. It's gotten to the point where some of our best calling ground has turn into a "dead-zone" for coyotes. You can hunt some of these places now or drive the roads after a fresh snow and you'll be lucky to cut one set of coyote tracks. Every year we say that it can't get any worse, and it does. I know that it can't get any worse after this year!(zero dogs is zero dogs) So is this going to stay at a low for a long time, or slowly start climbing back?
The Lord knows we have the food source for a quick recovery, we are getting over-run with bunnies. Drive down a gravel road at night and it's easy to see 12 rabbits in 1 mile.
