I have been trapping a chicken predation job and gotten double digit fox but this one was different. Anybody know what causes this...

The rest of the fur looked good for this time of year. And no rubs on the hips or tail.

Looks like “ elephant skin “ not sure what correct name is but I had a Black Lab that had same looking stuff. Just a stab in the dark really.

Hope its not zoonotic.


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

Could be the remnants of a bad episode of ticks in the past.
Fitting end to a chicken eater, I'd say.

I don't think so. It didn't taste bad.




Just kidding of course. Gloves got burned.

Elephant Skin is a dermal yeast infection that causes dermatitis, fresh from Dr Google. Looks very very similar to what my lab had.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
