I know that is a poor title for this thread but I am interested in knowing if the type of game in your area has changed over the years. Any species added or disappeared? Here in Alabama,specifically in my county(Blount) we have added a number of species. When I was a boy in the early 1960s,the only game to hunt was grey squirrels(fox squirrels were found but were very rare),cottontail rabbits, bobwhite quail and the occasional dove. In the late 1960s the state started re-introducing the white tail deer which was VERY successful(TOO successful at times). Game and non-game species here now that weren't here when I was younger include,coyote,beaver,otter,wild turkey,armadillo,Canada geese,wood duck and mallards. How has your local wildlife changed over the years?
