This is a typical western manged coyote. Caught it on the BMP study, was dead on arrival 24 hr check.  |

Notice open pussing soar on rear end, also I notice alot, that really manged coyotes fight traps much harder than most of there fully furred counter parts. This one won't win any beauty contest, but running high mange here on an already depressed coyote population.

You did it a favor.
2 questions
1)What is the disc looking thing by your trap,and
2)do you normally run boots with air-bob soles,even in the summer?The more I use that sole,the more I like it.

looks like about 50% of my ks. catch each year, pitiful poor s.o.b.`s. What state are these mange-os coming from?

My boots are rocky bear claws and I wear them all year round, I have been a rocky fan for years, best most comfortable boot out there, also the air bobs clean themselves better than any other sole and the wife likes that ;D. They have scent blocker as well.
The disc is a trap tag ID for the BMP study just a number assigned to the trap.

Here is another one, not as bad off except no belly fur nothing and dead in the montana! Again 24 hr check rules in place. Notice the nice tiger striping of this one.  |

mange is becoming none too familiar with me as well. Every coyote caught this season in Eastern nebraska has had little to no hair. Granted, it's not a lot of dogs I'm catching, but 10 for 10 in 3 weeks isn't my idea of fun.
Went from almost 40 coyotes 3 years ago that could be sold to 10 mangy dogs this year. Now, I'm starting to see it on the fox, too. And I catch WAY more of them here than I do the coyotes.

NECorey...down here in the SE corner its getting better, we had tons of yotes 15 years ago, then we got mange...15 years ago if you killed 100 coyotes 80 of them were mangy...now its kind of went the other way kill 100 you get 20 that are mangy...I like the cats, so I hope the coyote numbers stay down...LOL I thought I read a study somewhere that stated that it took around 20 years for mange to run through a coyote population, then they would develope an immunity to it??? Any truth to that?? I wouldn't think it was true, animals can't develope an immunity to a parasite can they??Corey

Corey you hit on a hot debate that Bob w and Scott H where thrashing over awhile back on trapperman, my feeling is without antibiotic help coyotes can't get rid of mange without dying first.
Mange is a direct response to the population, on the upswing you have more coyotes/fox there for easier to transmit more quicker. Lower population and less transferial of mange yet can takes years to work through if at all. Our population has been lower than normal the last few years, but still have a high% of mangy coyotes. Best thing is to get them out of the loop.
