that white bear shweet lookin

Here is a red yote I nabbed last year, her underfur was as red as a red headed step childs with silver gaurd hair....There is one more that I know of in the area I trap also a couple black ones were spotted running together in the last week or two.

Can you say RED WOLF ????????????????????????????

Noone can tell for certain not even the biologist but it has a very close resemblence to them. They are breeding with the coyotes so much that we have all kinds of colors around here.

It's a warg!

No seriously, it's a poor yote with mange. There's 2 types of mange, and he's definitely got one of them. By the time it's this advanced there's no way to save a creature, be it a dog or yote or squirrel, fox etc...We trappers have a responsibility to kill any animal like this, it's highly contagious. Any furry mammal that sleeps in this infected yote's burrow, within 48 hours of him being there, will get it also. The mange mites cause a thickening of the skin, incessant itching, and eventually the loss of almost all hair from the body. We really help the environment by removing these guys.

Some people took a picture of a squirrel with mange near Seattle and laughed at it on a blog, it's quite inappropriate, it's like laughing at an animal with rabies IMO.

Fascinating. Yeah i'm into the Red Wolf, nobody is even sure about what a red wolf is. Is it it's own species, or a grey wolf/coyote hybrid? The ones in captivity in the breeding program have been DNA tested suggesting wolf/coyote hybrid, but maybe when the species dwindled to low numbers they tried to save themselves form extinction by breeding with the most similar species at hand: coyotes. Yotes, wolves, dogs, dingos and jackals can all breed with each other, making biologists have to re-consider what exactly defines a species. The debate rages on.

ive seen one of those "red wolfs", much like the "black coyotes" i have a problem shooting things i dont know for a fact is a target species, from a few hundred yarsd away through a scope on a misty morning, all things black, or red, more so than an average coyote keep walkin, just cant bring myself to shoot them for fear its a pet, im also pretty sure ive been present when wolves were killed, i was pretty little, it was my first deer season, anyway later on i read about "brush wolves" supposed to be the dna of a coyote, but bigger than average, and look very musch like a wolf, probly the guys from wisconson know more about them, i think its more common up there than it is around here

give me a day or 2 to bait in the good ones, i have both black, and blonde squirrels, have some half red/blonde ones, i know they are in the neighbor hood, just gotta get them in close for good pics

charles what is that?

a buetiful well furred kansas coyote.

awesome.

would you believe me, if i told you, that EVERY coyote i have ever caught on that location, was mange?

but the cats, the cats is why i set it, its a HOT spot for them.

andy will have it this year..MUHAHAHHA

id like to see him get a nice kansas pale!

I'd throw the whole trap away.

A black beaver I caught in a snare set for cats

Dang Charles it looks like your coyotes are just as good looking as ours!

Here's a woodchuck (groundhog). Just a juvie. Along side a normal one for comparison.

Hmm I've never seen a woodchuck before. They don't have alot of hair on their bellies, do they?

"Hmm I've never seen a woodchuck before. They don't have alot of hair on their bellies, do they?"

No, I guess not. Since you've never seen one, it's the brown one that is normal. ;o) The black one is the only one I've seen in that color.

il trapper that is a sweet pic of the yote in your signature!!!!
