Jack rabbits; seldom see just one here. There were 5 cutting through the lot next door Monday.


Cottontails: most I see together are 2 around here. Guess Jacks are more sociable.

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.
