The rabbits of 2022

I haven't seen a rabbit out back in years. Damn cats, yotes & now bobcats. Surprisingly, I'm now getting rabbit pics. Early this AM & just a few min ago, both from different cams. (y)
Ever since I placed a few brush piles to give the rabbits places to hide, we’ve had a noticeable jump in the population. The pair of red fox that have had a den in our back yard for the last 5-6 years seem to be benefiting as they always have little ones every spring.

I've mentioned in the past that the land out back had been logged. Maybe 5 years ago ? Still tons of trees left standing, but it certainly changed the landscape. A lot of debri left laying, so .... Times you hate to see logging, but the benefits are amazing when time plays out.
My property wouldn’t be what it is had it not been logged several years ago (before we owned it). Probably wouldn’t have bought it if it was all open timber like the neighbor’s is.
