📸🐾 Mange on the Move?
Coyotes and black bears are both hosts for sarcoptic mange — but could coyotes be passing it along to bears?

Using camera traps and innovative modeling, we’re trying to uncover how these two species might be connected

What do you think is happening here? Just crossing paths or leaving and going to a nest? Nest predation is a large contributor to nest failure. Good habitat management, including the use of fire and a chainsaw can create more concealment cover for hens to avoid predators.

Interesting buck caught on our AR cameras with double main beams. These abnormalities can occur when the antler tip gets damaged early on splitting the main beam. Read more about antler abnormalities at the MSU Deer Lab www.msudeer.msstate.edu/abnormalitie....
