My friend lives in the woods

He's kind of a mountain man, built his own log cabin out in the forest, hikes a couple miles back to get to it when the snow forces the dirt road to be closed, chops all his wood and lives self-sufficient out there for part of the year. Not bad for a guy in his late-70s. But I talked to him yesterday, and he's said over the years he's gradually noticed the forests have become silent. When he built his house 30 years ago he would hear coyotes and foxes, see hawks and porcupines everywhere. Now he says they've all gone. He said it's been years since he's seen a hawk, and the woods are silent now. It's kind of spooky. But it kind of just goes to show, all these known animals have become so elusive. It's not a surprise sasquatch are getting harder to find too. People say everyone has a camera in their phone now so it should be easier to find them, but if resources are depleting and food sources are vanishing it makes sense the predators are moving deeper into the woods too and staying even more out of sight. This is just my opinion, he never said anything about sasquatch to me. I don't even know if he believes in them, but I'd suspect not. But what he said about the wildlife I know I can trust him on.
