We use to do a lot of trapping for fox back in the 80s and as teenagers made great money doing it. But its a lot more trouble to trap coyotes and you can only do it during trapping season not year round.
OK the bait pile isn't good for eradication. But it should make for lots of fun and shooting for me and my 13 year old for a little while, and will give us a few pretty hides to hang on the wall. So if I hang an amber light over the bait and just leave it hooked up to a battery will that work or will they stay away from it? I even thought about hanging a stand over it and taking my bow out on a good moonlit night.
