buddy of mine shot his first coyote over a roadkill deer as bait, one of his buddies was gonna skin it but by the time he came to collect it it was pretty ripe, so he declined, the question is.....................will the other coyotes in the area eat this if thrown out near the deer carcass( whats left of it) or will they avoid it??

are you asking if a dead coyote near a deer carcase will cause coyotes to avoid it? no not in my experience i have actualy caught alot of coyotes on coyote carcases beleive it or not thew i hav to drag them 30 foot away from my set not only myself many others were doing it before i was a wink in my daddy eye. was a man who killed over 20 thousand coyotes in his lifetime useing urine and coyote carcases as a draw station
i am not a caller i am a trapper but im my personal opinion i beleive you should have no problem

he aint the only one alot of top trappers with numbers that high.......hard work experience and ambition bring high numbers
 
Any coyote carcass I've ever come across that's been left or any we've ever dropped out don't ever get touched by nothing, they rot plum to nothing without any signs of getting eaten on.....maybe we just got them nasty yotes in TN lol
 
they will rarely eat them but they will visit them and kick back around them what you have made is not a bait station rather its a marking location..............if you have an area of soft sand or soft soil drag a carcase out there and leave it return a week later and walk a circle around the area and count the tracks scat and kickbacks around it some up to 60 yards away ive found. try it.......when i use these i have them 30 feet away and use a flat set or urine post type set. i do not know whow it woudl work on a callers perspective as its not a bait station like a cow sheep deer or elk carcase but it definately is effectiv from a trappers standpoint


you can not see the carcases on this phote but around 40 yards away there is two of them i late r caught 7 over a 2 week period after but before i took photos of the activity around the carcases heres a few kick backs and markings to show you what i mean..........the dropping was from one of the coyotes killed there i left the carcase of this was around may near a denning site but this has worked for me in winter and early fall as well.

Chilson... that makes sense and puts a whole new light on the subject...

if you had a deer carcass near by... then you would have the best of two worlds...

+1. Most of the time, the buzzards don't even eat them around here.
 
Here in N.E.Oklahoma the ranchers use to hang every coyote they killed on fence posts , they swore it would keep other coyotes from crossing the fence there...use to see it alot back in the 70's...I have not seen anything touch a badly shot up coyote from late january 2011 so far.
