Caught this Coon this morning in a 220. Guard hairs around leg were falling out,upon getting it out of trap I could pull fur out. What would cause this?

Some kind of biological skin issue like alopecia I would guess.
If it was from rot I doubt it would have started on the outside of the leg and the skin would likely be discoloured.


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

It was on a trail with sun hitting it. Was 30* here last night and pulled out of the trap at 11am.

If it was just in the trap overnight, I'd have to guess some sort of health issue.

Coons dont spoil fast and when they do its in the belly first. Health issue but the skin seems white and not discolored like a skin issue could have been bumped by a car see if there is bruising after you skin it.
