Caught a big male this morning when got him home and started brushing him out found two patches fur about
1/8 of an inch long about 3" in dia. . Not sure if these are road rash of slight case of mange.
One patch is above the right shoulder the other is in front of shoulder on the neck.
Got photos can't them to load on here.

Sounds like shoulder mites.

1/8th of an inch by 3 inch-easily repairable.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Why read it again,a 1\8 by 3 inch defect is easily repairable.
If he means the hair is 1/8 inches long in two 3 inch by 3 inch areas then that would depend on the rest of the skin whether to toss or not.

Because your reading comprehension sucks. He said 3" diameter patches of 1/8" fur.

Might get 5 bucks. Depends if you need practice. If you are asking you must so I say put it up for practice. I remember I asked the same questions not that long ago.


Wish I had more time to trap....

No don't need the practice skinning coyote.
Got looking at it closer and pulling the fur back in other places it's worse then I thought, it's gone.
Boco had it been one place I would cut it out sewed it up.
