arizonian Report post Posted February 27 (edited) Came across this guy just down the street yesterday morning. My first instinct was to chase him down with my truck but I didn't want to ruin the neighbor's yard so I got out the camera. Young, scrawny, starving coyote, don't believe he has a pack, and I'm thinking it might be a coy dog judging by the lack of tail. Is it possible? Or does he have a bad case of mange? Third time I have seen him in the hood, so maybe I'll get a better shot. Edited February 27 by arizonian Another pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HyNoon Report post Posted February 27 I've seen that in areas with over population issues back when I used to do caIIing con te$t s... we would get some with very dark grey skin and no hair. I'll have to see if I have some old pictures of them somewhere. Saw a coyote in Phoenix like that about 2 months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted February 27 My opinion is that is just a city coyote with mange. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted March 13 Thanks for the update. Any close up pics! And has your research shown if they can survive mange and regrow their coats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not treated they may live for a couple of years but to survive and regrow fur they need to be treated with ivermectin. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
