Is it legal to bait coyotes?

[Bango skank]

wow, what timing for a thread!!  I have noticed a "path" under my back fence the last few times mowing, threw a cam out a few days ago.  12:30-1:20 every night so far I have had a yote in the backyard.  trying to devise a plan now on how to take him out.  45yrds from closest hide I can use so might be a bit much for my bow right now (not been practicing (BAD BAD BOY!)  That and also it will be very dark that time of night so chances of seeing sights is about zero.

So even though prices might not be peak right now, how does one sell a yote once it is down?  I honestly do not want the one I have coming back all the time for the next few months,  rather remove from the gene pool now if I can.

Mount a light on a rifle and take him out

yeah I am pretty sure ambient light from my neighbors garage will let me see the yote, but is not enough light to illum my bow sight.  Option #2 is my Savage model 10 with suppressor, and Makers Rex subsonic rounds.  I have to do a bit more checking on backstop before I go that route though.

They come within 10 yards of my blind at night. Red porch light off deck. Red dot on .22

yeah I might just train this one to come up closer to house.  he is pretty skittish on video, so we shall see.  Want to at least get him out of corner he is frequenting and into other side of yard so he can't duck under fence in half a second, that would make recovery a pita.  putting more cams out now as he came into cam from the lastnight so might have a second entrance I haven't noticed.  Wiley Coyote for sure.

If he’s taking the same path just set up a snare and he’ll be dead in the morning. Use some dead branches to funnel him in and put some dog food on the other side

I actually like that idea.  My concern there is I have a dog which can be let out at night by other family members to do her business.  normally she will not venture out to that back corner then, but if someone is tired and lazy they could leave her out longer and then she might explore.  I will gather more intel on where the yote is coming in/out and maybe do a snare though.

My neighbor said back in the day they would put a large treble hook on some heavy fishing line and hang it from a tree with some meat on it about 4 foot off the ground, I don’t know if I believe him but man that would suck to be that coyote!!

FWI, It is a Gross Misdemeanor to do this punishable by up to one year in jail and a $5000 fine.

Also illegal. I doubt it would work anyway.

A little encouragement to help stoke the fire, keep in mind those numbers could be completely different next year, but still nice to dream a little.

Those prices motivate, especially since I have tons of coyotes behind my house... would be easy to harvest. Timber company land behind me.

If I were you, I'd set a treestand up back aways out of the open area of your yard, go to local butcher for scraps, pile the stuff up there, wait a week for the coyotes to get into a routine of feeding there and I guarantee they'll start showing up in daylight hours. All that easy food is too tempting, they won't want to constantly wait for dark to feed.. esp. if there is multiple coyotes and competition for the food (which there will be with birds I'm sure). I have baited them a couple times for fun and this always happens. They always show up during daylight hours after a few days to a week. Although, there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to what hour of the day they are showing up. In all likelihood, 3 or 4 hours in a stand per day and you'll see one after 2 or 3 days.

Also from experience, they are skittish on video because they heard your camera trigger. May not be as skittish as you think.

Those prices are for winter coats. No one wants their summer fur.

I am not sure if you watch the super bowl during the half. This was a couple of years ago.
Broadway Joe Namath wore this fantastic coat.  It was coyote fur.

Are they in summer coats yet?  It has been warming up, but I thought they might still have heavy coats right now?  The one I have on cam looks pretty good.  Just have to get him now, he has been absent for a few days.
