Big male ? Weather has been perfect. No rain to speak of washing out sets and warm so sets aren't freezing .

[Kludes]

Didn't even look I don't get to deep when they have mange

He looks so cuddly though ...

[mlammerhirt]

So...what causes that?? And if he/she wasn't caught would it eventually die from mange?

Yup piles of fur around here but why waste them when worth dirt?  I will wait for demand.

because people I know put up the fur and can send to auction if and when prices go back up. Also controlling diseases such as rabies , distemper and mange with some population control.

Sarcoptic mange is mites that are in the top layer of fur causing severe itchiness and fur more or less scratched off. Very contagious. Need to bury something like this so other animals don't roll in it. Possibly could kill if sick enough but surely would freeze to death with no fur

[stoneam2006]

I've been trapping a long time never ran into any mange...how do you handle it?
