RE: Baiting coyote
I've found that dog food does a tremendous job attracting coons.
But for coyotes anything dead usually works just fine, that's all they really eat anyway.
This time of year fish guts is a good idea, you'd just throw them out otherwise.

RE: Baiting coyote
The more it stinks the more possums and coons you'll attract. Baiting coyotes is best done with large piles of roadkill- but even then it's not an overly productive form of harvesting coyotes. The most effective way to kill coyotes off bait is to put it in a place visible from your home or at least along the road where you can catch a glimpse of coyotes feeding during random daytime times. When they are there, snipe one. In order to consistantly kill coyotes off bait you need to understand what makes coyotes move- and how they'll do it.... if you have this knowlege, just call them in and save yourself the humiliation of picking up 3 day old possums on the interstate.

Two things I use if I'm not using one of O'Gormans stuff is 1. road kill cat, 2. dry chicken $hit. Also if you know someone at a rendering works plant, have him make you up a batch of stuff about the consistency of elmers glue

Go to any dairy farm and ask if they have any dead calfs. They may have buried them already but ask if they could save you one or two. calfs work great. Tie them down, It will be draged away fast
