I’m not urban either but I think we have far less rabbits, squirrels, etc than in urban areas.  Cuz we have coyotes.  We have more tunnel-dwellers – pocket gopher, voles, mice, pack rats and the worse kind of rats.  I’d rather count on rabbit and squirrel.  🙁  Doubt we could get a hold of the pair of muskrats in pond. No trout streams nearby….and fish laugh at my approach.  {really, but DH is better}

Some urban areas…esp. small towns are being overrun with deer populations.  We see lots in our small towns ’round here – they know where they are safe, except crossing the streets/highways.  Can’t hunt them now but that urban deer population will disappear quick in a post-stuff-hits-fan.

We’re also too high for much plantlife that is edible.  Hard-won gooseberry/currants.  [NASTY thorns]  Some cattails got started down the road in a small pond.

And remember folks, there are usually birds.  Pigeons in urban areas.  Sometimes lots of them.  Doves were mentioned.  We don’t have either of those.  Eagles, hawks, magpies, small black birds [and I hear one must have “four and twenty” of those to make a pie……  😉
