What is everyone having the most luck with while making a bait pile for fox/yotes.
Thanks

I use scraps of leftover or freezer burned meat. Leftover scraps from deer processing too. If you put it in a bucket and freeze it with water, they'll have to work for it. Start out with just little pieces strewn on the ground to get their interest and confidence up first. Good luck !

+1 on what Tom said. Add to that road killed deer carcass wired to a tree.

does anyone had the need to add say sardines or the such to get an aroma or better sent?

Be sure to read the regs...baiting is not legal everywhere. and moving a road kill deer may be breaking another law.

+1 on what Don said. In Texas it is illegal to move a roadkill deer carcass. Baiting is legal. I leave feral hog kills for the coyotes and coyote kills for the feral hogs.

No.

In Michigan it is. You have to have a permit to remove them. Stupid law but true. One that many don't abide by. I for one support getting rid of them for good use.

Any local stalker will get phone calls to come and pick up a carcass by people living in the area or the police might phone if you add your number to their list of stalkers who'll dispatch RTA's.

glad that answered my question ... not.

guessing no one does the coyote cicle thing then ... course its mid 50's here in Illinois in January

According to the posts Bones44 does baitcicles.....As for your queastion no, apparently no one puts sardines in their bait piles.

[bones44]

Baitsicles yes and have never done sardines though. With the warm weather it's been crap lately. I sometimes include veggies too as they will eat them, believe it or not. You can use any type of freezer burned meat also, but only put it out in small portions and scattered about or you'll be feeding them and not baiting. As for the sardines I'm sure they'll eat them, don't know if they'll help draw them in or not. Try it,you never know as they are scavengers too. Good luck !!
