RE: bating coyotes
dead livestock is the best preferably a freshly dead cow or horse. yotes dont seem to think anything of it but ive used chicken or calf liver too but the yotes seem to be a bit weary I suppose because they smell dead flesh but cant see it till they are right on it. ive heard of some people using canned catfood and sardines. I personally think coyotes respond better to the smell of blood.
