Dead bait/stink bait???

Am I vexed? I have all the goodies, all the patience, all the persistence... But no pelts.
It's not the shots I'm missing but the coyotes themselves.

I need an edge. My idea is to bait coyotes with scent. Since the noises I make seem to be repulsive to coyotes. For a while I thought the salesman sold me a dog whistle instead of a call. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Has anyone tried to bait a coyote with a carcass? I once tried a bag of 4 day old dove guts left over from a hunt but had no success. Another time I saw a cottontail-ala-Dunlop on the road and considered putting him to work.

Has anybody used anything like this with any success? My thoughts are maybe rotten chicken, bunny or maybe fish. Would I then need a fish call? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Man I'm really in need. I know some good instruction will be available in November but It's still a long way off. I'm quiet, have all the camo, and know how to use the terrain. I even have two 4x4's. What gives?
 
What works for the best for the hunters who use my products is this method:

A Scent Dripper with some Coyote In Heat Urine in it.

Here is a link that has some pictures and a small story about how this setup was used.

The story has been posted on this site before.

But this page also has some pics of the set-up to go along with it.

Hope this helps.
 
Hey, I've baited with a wild hog before and been able to kill about two a night for 3 nights. only thing is, if you use something that big drive a stake through it - we didn't and ended up having to drag the nasty thing back to the clearing (they were able to drag the 105lb hog about 100 yards or so, I didn't think that they would do that, guess I learned something) Hope that this helps you out. - WeaZel
 
DaisyCutter,
Could it be your fishing in a dry hole? Change locations! Can't call them if their not there. Been there done that, had tracks but no coyotes, turned out they were just passing thru. An old trapper showed me this, we tracked one coyote about two miles, he never broke stride, stopped to check anything out, or nothing. He was going TO something, and that was all he had on his mind. My old friend thought like a coyote, he'd trapped for so long. Taught me a lot before he passed away. He always said to try to figure out what their doing first, then set a trap, works for calling too.
If you'll kill a rabbit, and use that, it couldn't do anything but help.
May be your jinxed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Just put in the time they'll come! The other night we called six times and only had one response, and he came in behind me and spooked when I turned.
 
I think it would be a good idea. I know last season when rifle season came around. I found a dead doe along side of the road, so i took her and placed her on side of the woods. I checked it a week later after rifle season was over. I found Tons and Tons of tracks. Deer was all in different directions from the coyotes and foxes. Lots of scats. Wish i would of been able to hunt over it though. Perhaps this up coming fall i will give it a shot, or winter.
I heard and read allot of people were using peicese of cow's and the left overs for the butcher shops. Might want to go there to find some scraps to use. Hope that kinda helps.

Well, if you want some definite peee-eewww stink bait, a gut-shot jackrabbit should do the trick.

It may take a while for the scent to make it to them and cause them to come investigate. But, if you couple it with some distress calls, and maybe a piece of monofilament to make it twitch you should get their mouths a waterin. I've seen a few people mention having very good success with this, especially if using an electronic caller you can put near the jack.
