Mike, great write up and I like the light colored fur, ours is pretty much reddish. About the mange back there. What do the coyotes have, Demodectic or Sarcoptic? What do you do for Bubba, just treat him regularly or does he pick it up?
That's a fine dog you have there! Did you train him to do that or does he just do it on his own? Sounds like a heck of a way to hunt and a heck of a good dog to me! Gorgeous pelts as well.
I've been writing stories about Bubba since he was a pup. Search for "Bubba" in the predator hunting and hound forums over the past 4 years. I've tried to use his name in the titles to make things easier. You'll have plenty to read.
Also, Bubba isn't "packing". Probably one of the bigger mistakes I've made. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
