The one in the foothold did a number on the trap dog.

Yep, I think every coyote I have caught bends the dog. I just lay it on my sod buster hammer and beat it straight with my pliers, does not take much.

Simple easy modification take a nail cut to size or rod stock . Weld it to the dog gives it more strength. Gunsmoke showed me that one.

Sorry that mange is in your area, your trapping will help with the problem and shortens their slow death cycle..Also glad to see to archiving the sad shape the disease as those pics could be invaluable for the defense on one reason to manage the population with trapping as one method
...on the dogs it is my theory that it gets bent while being jammed into the ground and the trap used as a lever to aid in the bending of it. I am in the process of replacing the dogs with the stainless rod dogs or tac welding a piece of nail/square stock to strengthen......of the two methods I like the rod dogs the best although they are about the same time element to install.

I've picked up some mangy coyotes this past week also. Varied from slight to uh don't even want to touch. lol.
I've noticed that those coyotes coming from the Mo. river drainage don't seem as affected with it as those in the uplands.
I switched out my dogs for the Custers Top Dog and haven't had to straighten with one yet.
