You get a call and find out there are coyotes in a certain area. They are not only seeing them but they are also eating many a dog and many of the neighbors cat...Now I think this would be a good time to use a bait pile in the area...Probably your probably going to do a cat or dog or a master of a cat or dog a favor so this is when you should say..."Now is the time to kill a coyote using bait since it's eating all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood.
I heard this story that guys knew coyotes were in the area...They were there... So the chained some meat to a tree with the intentions of coming back in a couple of days to sit and hunt it...Problem was....That very night the coyotes came in and ate all the bait...
The hunters did it again...chained more meat to a tree and figure they allow the coyotes to work it.. Same thing happened..Again that very night they came in and ate all the meat..
Blind baiting while it may cause coyotes that are passing though to visit the bait piles...If you know they are there....By all means bait but you best be there that night waiting for them.....
