Wow, poor thing is right. At least it's no longer suffering and waiting to freeze to death.

Do you get many like that?
I only seen mange once here in red fox in 40 years-it was a year when the population was extremely high.
In that same time,Rabies has come thru twice.

Wolves here always seem to be infested every 4 or 5 years with chewing lice(lasts in the population for several winters then disappears for a few years).It leaves them with no guardhair on the flanks from rubbing-looks a lot like mange and must be a real killer when it gets 40, 50 below.It spreads in the population similar to mange.

Never seen fox with chewing lice.


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

I've run between 10-15% some years out of a couple hundred... this year seemed a little better but I didn't keep count. You can catch 5 mangy ones on a farm and go a couple miles down the road and not catch any. I think whole litters sometimes have it. I'm not sure there is any correlation but active chicken farms w/ manure piles seem the worse... also setting in wide open fields vs sets close to brush/woods seems to help too...

This is an unusual year. 86 coyotes and I’ve not seen mange once yet.

A perfect example of why trapping and hunting are necessary management tools.
Very sad to think there are people who would rather see an animal die like this than to see them humanely killed by trappers or hunters.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

At some of the hotels I have seen, you would look like that in the morning if you slept under the covers.

I stopped and looked at a young road killed Bobcat yesterday. The back end pretty smashed. The season for Lower Peninsula for trapping is over.

Beside it may have been a trap setup.

In the short time MN had a hunting/trapping season on wolves, one of my neighbors snared a timber wolf. He showed me photos of the animal. It had mange, a symptom of over population?
I know there are a lot more wolves in MN than the DNR admits to.
