On my limited running grounds I have definitely noticed fewer rabbits.

Earl been at the same club the past few years and we always had plenty of rabbits but I switch clubs this year because of lack of rabbits. What made me switch is the changing habitat when the cut downs grow they weed out the cover and the rabbits seem to disappear or move on. The new club has the better habitat and there are plenty of rabbits there.

Most of the spots we hunted had plenty of rabbits, but the weather after the first of the year made hunting tougher.
