Default Coyote numbers

Hows your guys numbers and quality looking this year?
My numbers are down drastically, with lice in about 30% so far. This is forest trapping. Farmland numbers seem normal.

Only taken 7 so far , but set snares yesterday so should soon see some numbers . 1 out of first 7 had bad mange ,rest look good . Lots around but pretty skittish from the deer hunting crowd, be glad when they go home and I can get to work . I dont like to set some areas due to the doe boys picking coyotes up , so as soon as them and the bird hunters are done I'll be O.K.

Not sure on numbers yet down south here, will be easier to tell when they can calm down after rifle season. Quality seems good though, only one with mange and most seem to be nice coyotes this year.

Dr. Margo Pybus is studying data about dog lice in wolves and coyotes. Trappers could be a big part of the data collection if we record number of infected animals, date and area caught . Alberta Trapper magazine 2018 issue one, page 48 has more info.
