I was just pondering the climite change & how much it is effecting the activity of snakes, lets narrow it to hog's. I can remember winters when the first snow fell in October & would stay on the ground for weeks, often we would get 3 to 4 ft of build up which would stay until February. Today that same area only had a total of 11 inches. I was wondering if you had found any data to compare with what you have been seeing in your field studies?

Probably not a really fair question since not a lot of serious research was done that far back. That would have been between 1950 & 1960.
