absence of any sign is due to paucity of
coyotes. This paucity in turn is probably
due to recent (last 10 years) trapping &
poisoning campaign in these parts.
Coyote Peak, at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 11, 1933
A local shepherd from the hym Ranch,
on whose property we are camped, stated
that a sheep killing coyote was active; that
it was a female with two pups in a
den nearby; and that the goat.
trapper with his dog would soon be
out from somewhere & trail the
cyote to its den. This is the only correct
way to get these sheep killing coyotes.
While a poison campaign it doesn't get
everything else to boot!
