Todd alot of our problem is fescue and the guys running dogs early in the season and also the gun hunters. We got alot of factors working againts us but fields that I hunt do not get any gun hunters and very few get away with running dogs, but I have fouhd lots of cyot scat with lots of rabbit fur in it. Not saying thats the reason but I think that is what has happened to the fields i've hunted for years, and they always had rabbits.
Lets agree that there getting hard to find all factors taken.
