I noticed this year I am getting almost all adult fox, coyote,coon , badger, maybe 1 out of 8-10 coyotes were young ones. I figured since someone mentioned they saw dead coon laying around and I was only getting adult animals, then distemper must have hit.
Also, I noticed that only 6-8 of all of those animals had fleas on them. I know our predators have fewer than the western ones, but this is unusual. I think I got my 17th coyote before I saw a tick scar on the hide of a coyote. Then I trapped more east of me and started seeing more tick scars.
Is there any conection to the distemper and fleas and or ticks? Do fleas carry it? Have 35 coyotes so far,Thanks!
