Default RE: coyote down

The disease spreads by way of contact, one coyote touching another. If it now seems localized, give it a year or two. The disease has spread all across KS., Neb., into eastern CO., Okla. Iowa, and beyond. In eastern KS., it was really bad just a few years ago, BUT now very few coyotes are still around that have it. Is it gone from there for good, maybe. But probably not until every coyote that has it in the area is dead and gone, and only then will it stop spreading!
It is a nasty disease and a horrible death for those that get it, and man do they stink, the coyotes that have it,......... really bad!! I think some of the coyotes that have it really bad probably wish for a bullet, just to end thier misery!
