weasel-UT is right, there is a plus to doing what You are talking about SPRINGER7676. I have done this for years, I use sardines in fish oil, and dump them close to gates I go thru or by fence corners, (do not dump right in the middle of the gate) but down the fence line a little. Coyotes will vist this area every time they come by and leave scat and tracks, this will let You know about the coyotes and other critters in the area You are calling hope this helps. best of luck.
