Do your coyotes have tics? I cover at least at least 2 counties, sometimes more and almost every coyote is covered. I rode with Zagger for 3 days this year and although we only had 8 coyotes during that period I saw zero tics when skinning so I asked him about it. He has none and has never sees them. This man handles a high volume of coyotes for the east coast so its no fluke and hes just over 100 miles north of me. He does get a subsantial amount of snow compared to my area.....
Soooo... are there tics in your area?
