I just got back from setting the bait out.. There coyote tracks on the trail going in and a few older tracks where they were walking around 20 yards out along the cove.. I think this will work great for me.. But no one knows until it has been a success or not..

I set it off the shoreline around 60 yards in an area of where some stumps stuck up threw the ice. I am hoping this was a good choice on that one. A large crow was flying around checking it out before I could leave there.. I will be going back in about an hour just to watch over it.. Although I am not going to expect much until tomorrow. There is a big pine I can hide behind to watch the area pretty good with a mixer of brush and cattails along the bank.. I hope I can nail a decent eastern coyote from this setup..
Thanks again for your in put..
