[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2526433, member: 91783"] We got some rain and snow mixed yesterday . The areas west of us got good moisture as did the areas south east of us they got close to an inch of moisture . Right in my area we got close to a 10th of an inch being as dry as it has been we will take it when we can get it . I visited with my friend who is quite busy now doing control work . He was telling me that all of the prey base numbers are very low . Our antelope , deer and elk numbers have been affected by several diseases as well as the drought . The game and fish department is cutting back , by a few thousand , the number of big game tags being released . The numbers of the smaller prey species rabbits , mice and prairie dogs are also down due to diseases and the drought conditions as are the bird populations also being affected by disease and drought . Gene told me that the coyote and fox numbers are low also affected by disease and lack of prey . The predators are busy eating what they can find and often that puts them in conflict with livestock producers because that is the more readily available food . As we have all noticed in the past when the predators numbers are low they become more cautious and harder to hunt and call . The ranchers that I worked for when I retired told me that the coyote are jumping the fences now instead of going under them thus avoiding the snares . They are also very cautious of coming to calls and aren't even talking much at this time . They haven't learned not to leave tracks so can still be found . Knowing the areas well helps in these hard times as we already know where they will be denning and living as well as where they will be hunting and passing through . All to our advantage . [/QUOTE]
