Had an abundance of local urban wildlife last year:

Encroaching deer near downtown.
1-2 car strikes per year in wide 35mph zones. Oh the horror of stupid drivers downtown.
Tulips and many shrubs eaten. Mine included. Basterdz.
My dog chased a doe and fawn over a 6ft fence midday in a park.
City decided to cull with own specialists. Many were against with yard signs.
Whatever. No skin here.
I once saw a beautiful big 10-12 pt buck stroll boldly down my sidewalk at 2am. Majestic. He looked over at me on the porch and didn't care.

Also seen lots of rabbits last year.
Up to 4-5 around a couple blocks of dog walking.
My cat brought two rabbit 'kittens' into the house and presented them as gifts.
He was bummed when I put it outside with a bag of lettuce and carrots.
Playmate lost. He pouted and was depressed for a week and more.
Then all the neighborhood rabbits suddenly disappeared entirely this year. Wut?
