Steady in Lancaster county. York has Yotes moved in heavy, probably bad new for reds.

Low now, probably the lowest I've seen them here in my 21 years here. Caught 5 this year and even let 2 of them go.
Let me sugar coat this

Grey fox can climb trees to escape yotes. Plus they usually live in more brushy areas and get into smaller holes like rock crevices to escape coyotes.

caught nine in 7 days with five cable restraints. last year. didn't run a big line. just remade same set after i caught each time. numbers are high in my area when yotes are low id say. seems little lower this year but still good. last few years yotes have been low in my township area due to mange killing them off few years ago IMO but idk really...just know they were crazy high numbers now not many yotes and tons of fox. don't bother me none. not a fan of yotes anyhow. kinda like watching the foxes run around and eat the chipmunks here during bow season. don't ever see many grey's. wish i did.

We are over run with both reds & greys here in Eastern Lake Ontario country in northern New York.
The reds are also covered with mange which knocks their numbers back each season.
We also have a ton of cayutes so go figure.
$5.00 for put up red fox is not incentive enough to trap them.
Not many people are trapping around here but we are also over run with predator callers shooting them up.

I’m in Western Pa....catch three coyotes for every fox. In my canine sets, out of ten catches, seven will be coyotes, one red and two grey fox.
We had a decent number of reds here before coyotes took hold 30 years ago. Which county do you live in? I trapped Allegheny, Armstrong, Westmoreland, Warren and Forest counties when I lived there, Butler
