Say, here's something I noticed last year and again this year. Where I hunt bunnies there is a powerline right-of-way and a few "logging" roads. The rabbits are using the deep tire ruts as travel lanes. I have never noticed this anywhere else. We do have a lot of coyotes, and also redtail and goshawk (also just started seeing these latter hawks) are hunting the area heavy (including our bantam chickens!).
Just tossing this out. I now scan the ruts as well as the base of bushes and grass hummocks as I move along.
