Maybe they're all out hunting?
I don't actually hunt (because I'm lazy), but I do some pest control around the house. Mostly possums, very rarely a raccoon. I'd shoot every coyote in the state if they'd ever come around when I happen to be armed, but no, they wait till I've decided to step outside unarmed, and even then, they stay out of sight. Clever critters, those.
I've noticed the rabbits seem thicker around the house this year than they normally are, or maybe I'm just up and out more at night than normal so I see more of the nocturnal ones. The deer have been wandering around in our pasture and our neighbors' pastures, too, which I'm glad to see.
