Dog food for coyote bait.

Believe it or not there's a guy up here who baits them with carrots! He buys a few 50lb bags and drags them out into a field and the yotes come far and wide to eat them. Last winter he shot 23 off that bait pile.
 
Daughter's place is near Grapeland Tx. Big melon location, pasture north was watermelons I heard. Get a few hogs every once in a while so don't know if they are doing melons now. Lots of deer but i don't hunt them.
 
Tried dogfood and the crows liked it before it all rotted away. Only “bait” I’ve ever got coyotes on is my peanuts I feed for hogs/deer, lol. Got pics of deer and a coyote on the same bait at the same time years ago. Get pics of coons and coyotes eating together and possums and coyotes together. Guess protein is protein whether it’s plant or animal to them.
 
I haven’t used dry dog food enough to know how it might work for me. My main bait is deer trimming from a local meat market. They process a lot of deer during the hunting season and they save all the scraps for me. I them cut the pieces up into something like 1” cubes and fill gallon freezer bags. I stock up and it lasts me sometimes as much as two seasons of baiting. And of course I use table scraps quite a lot. A couple family members also save scraps for me.

One thing I plan to try is a liquid skunk scent. I have noticed coyote activity shortly after I shot a skunk, this when it had been so slow for quite a while. Thought I would give it a try.
tinks #10 skunk scent is really good !
