There is a widely cited and very dramatic population cycle of 8-11 years =
for Snowshoe Hares. The peaks I can find were in 1990 and 1999. That =
should place us at or near a population maximum at the moment if it =
applies to Nova Scotia. That would indicate a local mini boom in =
predators if true.
Does anyone have any data or observations  they care to pass on.
Thanks, John Belbin
