Can’t think of his name but a fella in ks was posting about treating and releasing sick ones. Maybe he will chime in.

If you released a coyote in my neighborhood and got caught by a landowner you would lose your trapping permission faster than a coyote could get out of sight. But I've heard of guys who catch for the live market cleaning them up with ivemectin

Small sample size, only caught 8 this year and 7 last year. No mange or lice on any of them. Really good fur.

Same % for us this year. My trapping partner this season had trapped texas 27 years in a row starting in the early 80's.
Said he never seen the mange this bad.

Does the lice die in the winter. I caugth a coon that ls belly looked like it had lice. But I didn't see any one it. When I fleshed it the belly was very thin skin.

15% on reds...

Brokenboots, I didn’t mean to hijack your thread. I just don’t have that many coyote and their is more than I like to admit that get thrown out. Would not bother me in the least to treat and release!

Here it is the worst I have ever seen 95% of the coyotes have mange this year. Pretty sad to see how bad it is.

Caught 45 coyotes this year. One had bad mange and I tossed 5 other ones that were rubbed so bad they weren't worth skinning and I kept a few that were marginal. The one with mange was the first one I ever caught around here that had It.

caught my 2nd one this season with mange tonight. What a waste.

Zero percent this year.

So do you mean you caught no coyotes?

Caught 27 reds this year. 20 were perfectly prime. 1 mange 6 rubbed bad.

No worries golf ball. I’m open to all discussion on the topic.
It’s frustrating at least to see some of these higher numbers.

Scott Phillips where are you located? I’m partly trapping in some of the sagey type country similar to the eastern plains and that is where my mange is the worst.

See it here. Not as much as lice though

Just set a farm on Tuesday with 4 traps and caught 2 coyote's the past 2 days and both had mange .
