I saw my first coyote tracks close to it today, the coyote came about 20 yards from the pile but no taker. I'm bummed. Just to the south of the pile like a quarter of a mile lots of coyote sign.
They can be tough thats for sure. I had a area three years ago that I took a whole road kill deer into far away from any roads and it sat there all winter until the spring. This area was loaded with coyote sign but they would not go near my free offerings. We see this alot in this reagion.
As you can see the coyotes are in my area,they just have not came to the bait that I can see from my shooting window,75 yds from my trail cam pictures.
