baiting for coyotes? HELP!!
Has anyone ever baited for coyotes? Some one told me today that you can use road kill deer for coyote bait! There is nothing in our hunting guide that prohibits this.....sooo has anyone ever done this and how?

Make sure you check with your local CW about picking up roadkill for bait. I thought of doing this a couple of years back and if I remember right, picking up a roadkill deer for coyote bait is illegal here in WI, but I'm not 100% on that. If you find out for sure let us know, or if someone else knows, please enlighten me.

You are right! Found out it is illegal!! State of MI doe's not allow anyone to remove road kill from the side of the roads. That really sucks! Guess I'll have to borrow my friends car and go run over a few! That way I won't wreck mine and I can get a tag for it! HA!HA! Thanks for bringing that up!

My guess is it has something to do w/ people hauling around untagged/unregistered deer, or stopping on the side of the road and putting themselves in danger for a dead deer. Lots of other viable options were suggested, but I agree, I was a bit surprised to find out it was illegal.
