colonies. Holston family leased ranch in the "Roundside"
area (to E., Mr. Boydldn Creek, near Rudy Schermeran). He
said that C.l. not then remembered to be a pest. But
many (75±) coyotes trapped there (he had sheep) by
netrappcr. Holston said some coyotes (few) + few
eagles in this (Red Top) area. Many eagles on Cox's
Eagle Rock rancher (E. of Pochipat) Holston said. L.H.
said he found some coyotes for rabbit control + liked
to see + hear them. Mr. Stahl, who had land in Sec. 16,
did not poison C.l., but liked to shoot them. L.H. look-
ed on this as locks cooperation. It is general feeling
here that concentrations of C.l. are nuclei for spread
to other rancher (probably correct). || When the
Laramie road (287) passes entrance to road W. to
Holligan Beaver, C.l. burrows numerous on W.
side of road (any on E. side ?) L.H. says no, altho
he has seen them feeding along W. side road). There
C.l. in NW corner Sec. 31 (CTON, R70W) + adjacent area
to W.+NW according to Porter Miner. I saw burrows
below a rock & earth dam (rowtis in rows); too
cold to search further - no burrows near road
appeared to be active. This was an F. A. Lewis land,
now leased by a new man this area. 1 all 3 C.l. shot
were gg with slight tooth wear, much fat, good coat showing
no molt line, no repro. activity, stomachs + cecum well-
filled. More gg out than 0789 ? Immune, was said shot?
