Sorry to hear about your bad luck Eric,
it's been pretty cold and windy here since the middle of Jan. Where did you go if you don't mind my asking? I live in the central part of SD and we get some mangy ones now and then. Joeniv and I called one in the 30th of Dec. and she was just sttarting to get mangy--no hair lwft on her tail and haunches were starting to lose hair. I saw one run across the road on my way to work last week and he looked pretty fully haired. Better luck next time.
Jim
