Title: Baiting coyotes?
Post by: Atroxus on February 24, 2010, 05:39:09 PM: I was wondering is baiting coyotes legal? Another thread got me thinking about breeding rabbits to eat, and using the urine as a scent lure for coyotes. I got to thinking more and was thinking well if I did breed how would I dispose of the entrails and/or pelts. This got me the idea of saving those to bait coyotes. I figure a big pile of stinky rabbit guts/skins would be an excellent coyote attractant if it is legal. What do yall think? :dunno:

Post by: Atroxus on February 24, 2010, 06:34:13 PM: I dunno either. But I figured on dropping a pile of guts/skins doing some calls from 30-50 yards away and if nothing comes in, then leave and come back the next day to try again.

Thats some encouraging news machias. Thanks. :)

Hmm, that could be a problem for me then. I was hoping to be able to get them within 50 yards so I can pick em off with my .22.

He has shot several out to 300 yards and a couple under 100 yards. I would doubt you would kill many under 50 yards.

Post by: shaneman153D on February 25, 2010, 06:40:20 PM: We hunt cow carcasses that the ranch dumps. Takes about 3-4 days for the coyotes to come around. Once they're on it it lasts about 5-6 days. Usually set up about 200yds from and they still bust us from time to time.

Bad thing about baiting with small items like guts and pelts is that the coyote won't stick around to eat it, he'll get it to go. I dropped my deer remains in one spot, came back the next day 10 mins before sunrise and almost everything was gone.
