On its own, Mange will heal itself. Humans dont normally get the mange if they are healthy in the first place. Hunting coyotes out of extinction will just bring some tree hugger with some of their infestation to repopulate the area with coyotes lol. Coyotes and humans arent supposed to cohabit. If you cant eat it, mate it, or plant crops with it, why have it.

Having the place we are on now for 4 yrs I have seen the pack tracks during the winter season. Having only 40+ acres we're sandwiched between a land trust and a Fed. Park so the total average that is natural would reach 500+ so it gives all natural wildlife a tract of land to roam.
For 3 winters past the pack of Coyotes have numbered around 12 or more when they go through the property, and the deer population was higher also. This past winter I've only seen one crossing of the property and it was 2-3 dogs, hardly any deer sign this winter also.
There's no hunting on this tract of land, it's only managed by nature its self, the populations grow and wane as intended.

I feel bad to that poor coyote, and yeah, I would have put him down
just to stop his suffering.

Coyotes are about the most adaptable predator in the country. They
have gradually spread East over the past few decades, and the eastern
coyotes are larger, have a more squared off jaw, and can become
more aggressive than their western cousins.

The coyote population rises and falls based on the available food
supply. A female in a food-rich area might have 6 or more pups,
whereas the female in a area with little food may have only a
couple pups, or none at all.

What you all think of as the "Alpha" male is really just a male
that has a mate and pups. Coyotes don't generally follow a wolf
pack style of hierarchy. When the female has the pups, the male
will stay in the area, protecting a wider and wider range as the
pups get older and begin to venture out. The male also does most
of the hunting.

The fur market is definitely down for most furbearers, but western
coyotes are still bringing $50-$75 when properly presented, with
Russia as the major buyer.

Yeah they're still a few out there that like their coyote fur. Ol Broadway Joe raised a few eyebrows at Superbowl 50. The result of his appearance wasn't all that negative on the fur coat industry.

Manhattan furrier Marc Kaufman has gotten requests from as far away as Dubai since the NFL great donned his flashy coyote coat at Sunday's game.
