Default Percentage of mange in your area?

I see a lot of guys posting about quite a few coyotes with mange. I have never caught one with bald/black skin. Only a couple with pink bellies which I am told is the start of the disease. I trap in the SW corner of the province. Just curious of the rough percentage of mange in other areas.

I'd say 10 % is close here as well , Seems as tho we used to see them more as winter progressed and not as many early ones as this year . Overpopulation perhaps ?

0 mange and 1 which was lousy out of 43 coyotes. Last year out of twelve I had 3 with mange.

I've seen some fully furred pink bellies but my understanding is that this is caused by something in their saliva.

We are at about 25% this year, north of Edmonton (severe pink bellies). This is much higher than usual but is about the same as 4 years ago.

Default Mangy wolf

Caught two wolves like this last year . Saw one still around during the summer hope to remove him this winter. Went quite a few years without much of an infestation on larger canids , foxes in our area have always been affected.

The few foxes I have seen this year look good. Yotes about the 10% mark as well.

Default percentage

Out of 49 coyotes so far this year, 6 have had mange, not severe, but they were fairly open. Was worst last year, and much worst the year before.
