According to the local conservation officer, here in IN putting out bait is a no-no. Same as for deer hunting.

But you CAN hunt over a gut pile from a legally acquired deer or a domestic animal killed by 'yotes if it hasn't been moved from it's original location, as those are considered "naturally occurring attractions" like a food plot for the deer is.

Just wish I had some time to go out with the rifle. Too darned busy. Last coyote I killed was while squirrel hunting with a .17hm2 at about 15 yds.
