The 'hare' population, like any native animal or even botanical species, will fluctuate depending on a wide variety of factors. Environmental conditions are a primary factor, with harsh weather and subsequent negative effects upon the hare's primary foraging areas and lairs a significant cause of decreases in population numbers. The amount of predation is another factor, as is the activity of human beings, whether via hunting or construction or other interference with the natural activities and habitat of the hare.
