I can vouch for the plague stories. we hunted on the Cheenne River Reservation for several years, and had som great shooting. Not quite like the old dayse, but 300 or so on a good day.
3 years ago the whole East side of that rez had plague. I went back to a good sized place that you couldn't keep them under ground at one time and it looked like a hayfield, with only about 30 holes in one spot.
Another one where we shot just wonderfully in the rancher's driveway was also devoid.
We found some on the west half of the rez, but the best town there was empty also.
I am thinking of going elsewhere this coming year.
