How much of a problem is mange in your area? About 25% of my coyote catches in the last two years have mange.

Kill kill kill kill is the only sure way getting it under control imo

Caught 5 mangy coyotes last year on the same farm.

When i was still in Southeastern Montana I caught 62 coyotes in basically a month I sold 2 that didn't have any signs of scarcoptic mange . I'm good friends with a guy who still traps and snares coyotes not far from there and coyote numbers were down and suffering from mange was even lower.
I agree with Red coyote numbers need to be kept at a reasonable number for the area your trapping or snaring in to help keep mange from spreading . I enjoy watching a healthy coyote doing what coyotes do as long as they leave livestock alone.

I can show u a picture of a hairless coyote in a snare. Its showing up more and more around me. Sad

We have it bad here. Some years I’ll run over 50%. A few years ago I had between 30-40 in my mange pile. Terrible affliction to say the least.

It is running about 50% here overall. It tends to differ from location to location.

The longer (years) you keep after em the better the mange problem will be. I have one area ive been hammering every year for awhile. There are fewer coyotes, but the ones that are harvested are skinners, with just the occasional mangy one. It was a mess when I started, half and half. The change didnt happen overnight either, it took some whittling.

I have one place every coyote I catch has it bad..

Does mange often kill them pretty fast or are they quite resiliant? I've heard some yotes can overcome it.

I suppose they bring it to their den and spread it fast that way.
