I agree. Looking at stride is a great indicator. 8-10" for bobcats, 12-14" for coyotes. Another trick i learned when I had a hound is the "X" method. With coyotes you can draw an X from between the toes and not hit the pad like this..... ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-32381-277648-1000020371.jpg) For bobcat, the pad gets on the way ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-32381-277649-1000020370.jpg)

Those jobs I set real heavy, prefer not to use many scent mounds but blind sets. Not sure what your thinking is far, but I have a job to start a little over an hour and a half away, I charge by the trip, and I charge a lot! I could be catching damage beaver closer so you have to.

Looks like a great time, and really good eating. It's a lot of fun, and rabbit breakfast sausage is better than whole hog sausage. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-16258-277647-resized952021021995164532.jpg)

You leave any seed...for next year ?? There were a few smart ones that slipped away. But he'll be home for Christmas break soon and they ain't safe. He's been a rabbit slayer since he got his first .22 at 5 years old. ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-16258-277646-dscn0079.jpg)

Thanks for the biology lesson. But I know the difference. I know the causes. If it is such a deadly and fast moving issue why are there record numbers of deer EXCEPT where EHD has shown up. My point is FWD does nothing pertaining to EHD. Where are the areas that herds are wiped out by CWD? The ONE deer that tested positive was a healthy doe with no symptoms that was harvested by a hunter. Just how many foxes or yotes do you think would be carrying rabies if people started testing. Heck test for cancer cells in humans. Like I said before can’t transport deer. Can’t put out mineral. Stop doing the same for cattle. Nope that ain’t happening because it’s a money pit that agencies are lining up to get some
What would happen if they started testing every cow that was butchered? Results would be scary and devastating to the cattle industry

I have bobcat and coyotes in the area. Any thoughts on these tracks? ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-50510-277642-img_1006.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/12/full-50510-277643-img_1007.jpeg)

Cwd takes 1.5-2 years to show outward symptoms and kill deer. The "survival rate" you cited is likely an exerpt from a recent Wisconsin DNR study on cwd, in which the survival rate through the winter was reported on. Cwd is a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies, (meaning it causes microscopic holes to form in the brain). This leads to a gradual cognitive decline, making deer act dumb, thus making infected deer more vulnerable to vehicles, hunters, and increased predation.
The recent study from the Wisconsin department of natural resources that I mentioned is listed on their website and I recommend reading it. Lots of fun information, including how cwd won't start to cause a decrease in the population until the infection rate reaches 29%.
With regards to cwd vs EHD, you are comparing apples to oranges. One kills a lot of deer quickly, one kills the herd over time I remember when it was exposed here in WI. It was most likely to have been here for quite some time before they finally came out and announced it. Decades later, the herd is doing just fine. Some areas reported lower numbers after a couple years of people filling 6 tags per year just because the could. Before that it was only one buck tag and and a doe tag if you got drawn by the lottery after paying your 2 bucks for a doe tag application.

Been a good year so far here and the weather decided to separate the men from the boys. Almost 2 months of season left and we just got another 7 or so inches of snow today on top of the 5-6 we had. 13 for a high tomorrow, should be awesome out there. I LOVE snow hunting for roosters.

I was told by a few veterinarian that Skunks can have Rabies for a few years and not show any signs of the disease because the metabolism is so slow it never shows up. This is something I was told and tend to believe it.
