I have noticed over the years of trapping this area of Northeast Texas that there are an equal amount of coyotes with white tips on their tails.
Is this unusual or do you other coyote trappers notice the same for your area.
The reason the thought even popped in my mind is, while reading life cycles of coyotes the webb sites all give the physical traits such as life span, weight, etc. “And” they all say black tip tails.
What y’all say??????

Very uncommon here but I've caught one.

Never saw one

See a lot of them here

Thank you Warrior from the Red Clay Country????

They are all like that here.

Pretty even split here

Yup, red clay everywhere but the river bottoms.

Captured about 6 or 7 with white tipped tails out of a few hundred over the past 4 decades.

5 to 10 % depending in what region in Wyoming. I've caught less in Central tentral Wyoming tha anywhere else.

I've only caught one in the last several years, but she had a old harness on her also. Previous pet?

Not a lot but have shot my share to say they are around here, in most areas of the state !

Not unusual here. I tell everyone it’s from eating red fox.

I get a mix of a few white tip tails and mostly black tip tails here.

White tips, black tips and rope tails here.

Caught a white tip female this spring right at the end of season. She was heavily rubbed pur I would have tanned her.

Roughly half the red fox I catch here in Southeast PA have a big snowball on the tip of their tails, the rest have none. Maybe from eating road-killed coyotes? LOL

Help me out here Machew— What is a rope tail; Got an idea but, sometimes ideas are wrong.

SorryMChewk , I try my best to tame this texting world, but sometimes I fail
