I saw a coyote yesterday that looked like it had no tail. on closer observation I noticed it had a tail but hardly any hair on it. It was'nt close enough as I only had my 17hmr..Was this a coyote with mange.

If the weather is warm enough for the coyote to survive. The fur will continue to come out until the coyote is completely bald. Plus the mange mites itch, so the coyotes scratch. They scratch so much that their claws cut into their flesh and the wounds become infected.
It's a long, slow, miserable way to die, that no animal deserves.

If you kill him, be carefull about touching him, that the mites don't transfer to you.
