We started seeing mange in north central Kansas in the early to mid 80's. By the early 90's, coyotes in the area were almost non-existent except in a few small areas. An article I read said a few coyotes are born with a genetic resistance to sarcoptic mange and these are the coyotes that survive unscathed and repopulate the area. The good news is our coyotes have rebounded and we have more coyotes now than I ever remember. My son called in his first coyote on Friday, then on Saturday he called in five yotes on seven stands. (this is one 16 yr old that thinks he has it all figured out...) The bad news is that it took a number of years to get to this point. I put away my bow and buck tag early just to call coyotes this year...and it has been a great trade.
