A little success

This year I am able to trap a small farm next to my subdivision. It's been fun and convenient as I can check traps at lunch each day with my side by side and don't have to load up the truck and travel somewhere. And it has been productive. I've picked up one raccoon, couple red fox and a couple coyotes. Trail cam pics show there is another red fox and a couple coyotes still frequenting the property.












The foxes had normal fur and cleaned up well with only a handful of fleas. The coyotes on the other hand were awful. The first one's under fur was falling out by the handfuls when I removed from trap and the skin was very flaky, like dandruff. The second one looked better from a distance but when I got to the shed I found thousands of bugs all over it. I am not sure what they are and assuming a type of lice or mite. Anyone seen these before? Some local trappers I know said they hadn't seen them.

Nice fox, too bad about the coyotes. Looks like you did them a favor.

We see em here occasionally on the good side of the river. Usually can smell em before looking for them.

Itching now, still a good catch.

Nice catches.

That’s dog lice.

congrats on the catches good job

Gnarly! Love the catches

I dont think I caught one thing this year that did not have fleas. Some just a lot worse than others.

Lice in the pics above

Nice little place to trap it looks like
