Had weird one yesterday. The coyote had a deformed front leg. It's leg went straight up at the leg joint then foot pointed forward . The foot was about the size of a walnut.The coyote defiantly walked on the leg joint and it was getting plenty to eat as well.

Had that a time or two- I always think its result of getting hit by a car. few years ago, caught one where the leg went st up at the elbow (front) and the elbow was exactly like the bottom of a pad would be- same color, same feel-

Yotes adaptabilty is amazing. Thru the years deformed thru birth or accidents and the speciman is healthy. One i remember is a trapper trapped a female yote that had no lower jaw healed ( possibly shot off) and was nursing pups plus she was healthy.

that was me- or at least had the same but she had the entire upper jaw gone. fat, healthy- talked to farmer, and they rolled one deer hunting previous fall- and that usually means a head shot so I'm guessing it was this one

Ahhh good to know the facts, when i read about it i wondered how it could survive without tongue.. so having bottom jaw had its tongue to lick up food.. . it would have been interesting to have followed her after her injury and what she survived on.... thanks for come back

I think we totally underestimate the amount and or numbers of carcasses of animals that are in the wild be those natural causes, predation and automobile etc. This provides plenty of protein and calories for animals such as have been discussed above. I caught one red that had one whole front leg missing and she was healthy as could be. Made her harder to catch with 3 paws instead of 4. LOL

Bryce yr discussion brought to memory of a cross fox i caught 35 yrs ago. During the summer i noticed fox tracks with only three tracks. Didnt think much of it and come fall i started trapping but couldnt put any bracelets on him. Come late fall in November i had 220s set for coons and one morning checking traps i came upon the cross fox in the body grip. Only fox i ever caught in body grip. Only got $75 bucks for him from MR. G. He said they werent worth more than red fox....... after seeing cross fox prices i saw differant and was miffed. Stopped selling to him.. and havent sold to him since.
