,,8 Life in the Open 



the home of the coyote, especially where it reaches to 

 the south and east and approaches Mount Santiago ; the 

 coyotes having the San Gabriel, Pomona, and other 

 valleys on one side, and the level country reaching 

 down to the Pacific on the other. Here, twenty miles 

 from Santa Ana, the Santiago Hunting Club holds 

 forth, and on the San Gabriel side one may hear the 

 musical baying of the hounds of the Maryland Hunt 

 Club of Pasadena. 



Orange County presents a very attractive hunting 

 country, with an abundance of game, long reaches of 

 well-wooded and sloping lands covered with live oaks, 

 picturesque cafions filled with trees all illustrating the 

 charm of life in the open. Many of the hunts of this 

 club cover the entire day, and at night they come into 

 the big camp with coyotes, foxes, and wildcats hanging 

 from the saddles. 



The coyote has a wide geographical range, from 

 Costa Rica to Athabasca, and from the central Mis- 

 sissippi Valley to the Pacific Coast, not being found on 

 the islands. On this vast territory about twelve species 

 have been recognised, and all over California they afford 

 exciting and novel sport.
