2 years ago i had bait out near the house and i killed 9 coyotes off of it, mostly during daylight hours. one day i shot the left front leg off of a dog, no kidding it was laying on the ground when i went out to collect him. after that the coyotes have not been on my bait much. last winter i put out roadkill deer regularly but only got 1 all season. i put up a trail camera to see if they were there at night and it proved that they were not touching the bait. then i set up a wireless motion detector, i had a couple fox come by late in the season, but there were only 2 or 3 instances where a coyote hit the bait. this season i put out a roadkill and that very night i got one. have not seen one, got a picture of one, or had the motion sensor set off since. there are occasionally tracks about 15 yards from the bait but they will not go up to it.
i put a roadkill at the neighbors place and got one off it the first night i stayed at her place, put another one out yesterday but missed one at 5:AM. at her place i dont have a motion sensor so it is hit or miss getting up during the night, the bait is also at maximum range for my light so it is really hard to see a good sight picture.
the bait at my house is 2 roadkill deer, and the trimmings from my elk. right now there are not even birds on it. i do not go near the bait for a week at a time, how do i get them to come back?
