Caught an old female yote today that was as bad a gummer as I've had in many years. Still fat and healthy, those suckers are survivors! [Linked Image]

No worries about rabies if she can’t break the skin. LOL

Didn't have to worry about biting her tounge either. She was DOA in a snare, so she didn't try to bite me! grin

That is a good question, Ozark! About forty years ago, KSU had a man working in extension wildlife, and he went around the state teaching farmers and ranchers how to trap and call coyotes, so they could take care of their problems. He came to me, wanting me to collect lower jaws off the coyotes that I caught. He came back by and picked these up after season. He came back in the fall and asked if I'd do it again, and I said sure. He had a number of others around the state doing the same. He then dropped a bombshell on me, said I had one in my batch that was 26 years old! I said WHAT! He told me again, and said that it floored him when they told him that. Well yeah! So we did it again the next year, he came back and said there was another old coyote in another fellas sample. I asked how old, he said 27! Now since then, I have talked to the fella that had that job after the one I just described, and ask him if he could find the papers on that study, when I told him the story. He said he would look, and was astounded at what Bob had told me. The sad part is, he has now retired and he never contacted me, to say he had found it! I so much wish that I had gotten a copy of that study, as they age the yote by counting the growth rings in the lower fangs, affter cutting lengthwise, much like you can age a tree! I always thought an old coyote would be ten to fourteen , but that deal made my head pop!

Lee I remember 20 plus years ago shooting on a spread north west of Circle. Had a novice along and first thing I called a big pretty one into our laps. He shot and it just nicked and turned the dog. It ran out and crossed in front of a bank 90 yards out. I had the bead and trigger half pulled when it dropped dead!
Mouth looked like yours, an old male, zero damage but a scratch. I think it was a heart attack. Made a pretty rug.
I would really like to know a field way to age these.

Cool story, Osky! I also wish there was a way, that tooth wear handout that most of us have seen, I don't feel is anymore than a guess. If it's like humans, it would depend entirely on what they have ate most of their lives. I can see a coyote eating on a carcass in the sandhills of Ne or Ks having much more wear on their teeth than coyotes in my neck of the woods, where the ground is clay, and not as abrasive, just for an example.

I totally agree. Where fruits and plants are a diet staple in season do the acidic acids help or hurt? In blown sand country what do they eat that isn’t covered in sand after being carried off, including dirt road car kills.

That coyote still had enough teeth to do the job. But It sure looks bad.
