Thank you for the insightful reply, Mudhen. I, too, think that there are more seepages than I know of. I will spend a few days out there soon to see what I can't find.
I am worried that you are correct regarding the population itself. Things have been dry for a couple of years (just not this dry) and the hog and coyote populations are high despite our efforts.
Again, thank you for your reply.
