[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2447639, member: 91783"] Ed , here a lot of the females showed that they had carried pups but didn't have any living pups . Last spring and early summer the pups died of disease at a young age before they got half grown here and very few lived to maturity this year . So most of the coyote being taken are adults from past seasons . I was visiting with my friend Gene the other day he said that he figured he would only get about a third of the number of coyote that he normally gets this year as the numbers are way low and there virtually are no fox . The deer , antelope , rabbits and other prey animals are also at low numbers . We have a hemorrhagic disease in the deer and antelope and chronic wasting disease in the deer and elk herds . The rodents have another type of hemorrhagic disease in them . Fleas , ticks , gnats , mosquitos and biting insects are plentiful and carrying diseases to them , as is mange still in abundance here . It's not scabies here but sarcoptic mange . Throw in a severe drought and the animals are having a hard time . In a few places last year we didn't get enough moisture for the grass to green up and dust phenomena was a problem with them as well . My Grandma told me it was like this in the twenties here and if I remember right she said that when it broke in 1929 it rained mud . It takes time for them to come back after this kind of happenings . [/QUOTE]
