Baiting yotes

[Mr. Longbeard]

Can you bait in yotes at night with say a deer shoulder hanging from a tree???

[Deek321]

Ya sure, but I think you would be better off using a call.

Better check to see if that is legal in your state...

My cousin and I once took a complete road kill doe and tried that one time..Hopeing
that fox or coyote would come around..Nothing came there except fo the birds
picking at it. We watched it off and on for close to a month..No sign of anything
but the birds...We were really surprised..

[Mr. Longbeard]

Thanks... I've never killed a yote... I've only seen one in the woods in my whole life... I use to hear them alot at night, but not much any more

For baiting to be effective, you would need to bait for a period of time, and once they find it, which could take hours or several days, then keep refreshing the bait to keep them coming back to it.
Just putting one piece of bait out and hoping for action, in most cases, won't be very effective.

Yea check the regulations, here in WI it's illegal, and i'm pretty sure the same thing goes for MI, me and some friends were plannin a trip to the UP to do the same thing, pickin up any roadkill deer we found along the way, but i checked the regs and lets just say if we do still go on the trip, we'll be sticking to calling.

I have never baited for coyotes but I have called them up around dead carcass'es they seem to hang in the area where there is free,easy to find food,wouldn't you.I have set up trail camera's on dead deer and seen opossum,raccoon,red fox,and coyote also my two dogs and even a 6point buck taking a look,after they find the food every critter in the woods might come but about 95% of the activity is at night.coons and possums are the only thing we can kill at night here in KY.I did take two nice bobcats at 200yards from my house on a deer carcass last dec. at 1:00 in the afternoon,good thing I looked down that way while I was feeding my dogs.During the daytime if the bait can be seen from the air,buzzards are going to find it along with hawks.
