There are areas of NY state that were loaded with chucks back in the 70's and 80's that are very nearly devoid of them now. Other areas are still loaded with them. I don't know what caused it but it ain't coyotes as there are just as many or more yotes in the areas that are still full of chucks as the areas where they're nearly extinct. It isn't a lack of good habitat either as there are still plenty of good hay/alfafa fields in the devoid areas.
Blackheart,
What areas in NY are now nearly devoid of chucks and what areas are still full of them?
Thank you
