There has been an population explosion of several animals in the past 30 years.
I never even heard of a coyote west of the Mississippi when I was a kid and now we have large numbers of them all the way to the Atlantic.
Eagles were very rare and during the first 50 years of my life I never saw a single one. Now, I can show you several nest and see dozens every year.
I never saw a bear in Florida even though my pioneer mother told me stories about a bear or two when she grew up.
Now bears are everywhere. Last year they had a 2 week season with a 600 bear limit. The limit was met within 48 hours!
I have heard from several N Florida good ole boys that many more than that were killed by landowners because they were being over run by bears.
I saw two Turkeys before the 35, now I see thousands.
The deer population is also huge. I see more deer every year that I saw the entire first part of my life
Wildlife has exploded because of mankind not diminished.
