Thanks for the replies everyone. I have tried a few things but nothing has worked as of yet. I have seen 6 coyotes in 7 days that I have been hunting. I have not been able to get one to stop long enough for a shot yet however. We can use deer carcess for bait but we do not have very many deer left up here. The deep snow and predators have been taking a toll on them. Coyotes being the number one predator up here. They are a hybred mix of the western coyote and the timber wolf. They 100% killing machine and unlike a wolf that will kill and eat it all before trying to kill another one. The eastern coyote as it is called will keep killing regardless of whether or not it has eatened up it's previous prey.. The one I saw today was absolutely beatiful for the color it was. It was mostly all black with gray markings..
