Looking at 50 years of Adirondack predators

For several reasons there were many years when there were very few predators in the Adirondacks. Coyotes didn’t really proliferate until about 1970, some believe because of three severe winters in a row in the early 1970s that left the woods littered with dead deer in the spring. I remember loggers wearing snowshoes in felling trees and 3-foot stumps in the spring. If you saw a deer in those days, it was something to talk about back at camp.
