[jjaba]

O.K. my prime deer property has more yote scat then deer now. used to see 5 deer a night now lucky to see one... hear the song dogs but wont come on to calling.. any ideas? Thoughts on trying to bait?

[predatorpro]

you dont need bait! just take me out there and we will call some in!  lol if you wanna bait i wish i had a better answer....all i know is it just depends...i have put out dead cows before all pretty fresh and one cow not a crow touchs and the other is gone in 3 days...dont know why but it can work awesome! i wish i could get road kill deer! would be the best coyote bait ever!

When I was field dressing my deer last year, I had those things all around me! I came back in an hour to see what them dogs did to what I left, or maybe even whack one, and I didn't see a dog, the deer fat, or some guts, and other stuff was either gone or picked apart

Tie a chicken to a stake and leave it! It has worked great for me.

I use salmon carcases after i fillet them and or chickens in a little cage. Both of them great. Of course the foxpro firestorm does the trick too

This has worked almost perfectly for myself in the past. What you have to do is get the yotes in a habit. Hang stinky bait from a tree with some on the ground, every day continue to put more bait on the ground, do this for 3,4,5 days and on 6th get all set up and boy I tell you have your weapon of choice ready! Good luck

I've also heard of the popsicle method but I don't anywhere to try it as I'm not carrying said popsicle that far into the woods after a 40 minute drive. You take a bunch of extra pieces from the butcher or whomever, put it in a 5 gallon bucket. Add water to the 3/4 full area and place a "stake" in the middle and freeze the whole thing. After a few days take it out and you can now stake the popsicle to the ground and take the bucket off. Viola!

An oldtimer told me once that he would take a big treble hook, and some 150 pound dacaron fishing line, wrap the hook with a wad of hamburger and bacon, and hang it about 3 foot of the ground.  You get the idea. Man those old boys were hard.

The yotes start running up to it as soon as they see you walking away from it.  Like it is a yote magnet.

Thanks everyone...when get back from training trip will try out especially the salmon with the Dungeness opening.. good hunting

[snowshoes22]

if you use dead livestock the coyotes won't eat it if it was given medicine. They can smell it and won't touch it.

  Before you go hunting put the bait in a black garbage bag and leave outside in the sun for 2 days straight. Smells terrible!

I have put out all kinds of bait at my trail cam... Cooked Bacon/with the grease gets the fastest results for me since It has smell to it. Deer scraps also works it just takes them longer to find the bait pile.

Up in lynden Washington we got so many cows around here that we will take some dead calves or cows out and we tie them with wire to a cinder lock and burry the block so the yotes will feed on it with out taking it.  Bait with anything that looks natural.  Take your ducks after you've skinned them and throw them in a field row ditch and wait.

DOG FOOD, just get a big cheap bag of it, poor the whole thing out. the scent carries aways, put it as far away from your structure, but not too far that a spot light cant hit it. then just check it in between commercials, and bathroom breaks.

I use road kill every year just have to beat DOT to the road kill.

NO

One thing you might want to ask your local meat packing place you get your scraps from is if they pour clorox on it.  Just picked up 2 boxes of scraps from mine and he told me by law they are supposed to pour clorox on it to prevent it from being used for human consumption. Taking my 2 boxes out tomorrow 1/2 box in each of 4 locations

[Jingles]

Previous 4 bait stations completely picked clean today reduced it to 2 with 2 boxes at each.. Could be a productive weekend for me and destructive for the yotes
