Summary

The data were collected as part of a statewide kit fox monitoring program began in 1971. Surveys were conducted quarterly to analyze factors that may impact kit fox presence. The two most influential factors on kit fox presence seemed to be badger presence and field cultivation, although further research needs to be done to confirm the findings.
