Talked with Mr. Lyons, owner of the sheep ranch where we were trapping, and also much of the forested land in the area. He said that coyotes once were common poisoned but now are scarce. Bait is put out for them. Said that gray foxes and raccoons were fairly common; skunks scarce now but used to be abundant; flying squirrels present but not numerous; plenty of bobcats.
