...how many do you see dead on the road anymore? When I was a a kid in Connecticut dead rabbits were everywhere. I rarely went hunting and didn't come home with a couple. Used to see them in the backyard all the time at my parents and now rarely see one.
Here in NH the rabbit hunting was great till 1993...once the coyote moved in and the birds of prey came back I have not seen a cottontail since...and rarely a snowshoe.
Same with woodchucks, grouse and anything else that lives on the ground including deer.
Until State F&G departments declare total war on coyote and free roaming dogs and cats you will never see small game again in New England...
