40 years ago, it was common to see 30-40 Jacks in the late afternoon or early morning. At night the wheat fields would be full of them. I think something/disease killed them off. When I moved back out here, I might see three or four. In the past year, during the drought, I saw none. I saw four one night on my drive after dark when I came thru the gate.
I had a bunch of cottontails, but since the drought, I have not seen one.
Coons and skunks abound and there have been several rabid ones killed. Saw one bobcat this winter which is one more than I wanted to see. He seemed to move off.
There are some Axis deer showing up and I had a young Nubian Ibex that started running with the goats last summer. He figured out I was feeding so he stopped running off when he saw me. I actually penned him with the goats and caught him. Gave him to someone as I did not want him cross breeding my goats and turning them feral. I think the drought resulted in a lot of exotics escaping from the game ranches in search of water. There are a number of imports showing up around the country and prospering.
