Baiting coyotes

We were driving down I 45 to Dallas and see a carcass from afar where vultures were feasting. Then as we got closer we see a young coyote grabbed the carcass and run off with it.
 
One of my friends has had luck in killing coyotes using hotdogs stuffed with Tylenol PM. She found one dead the next day.
 
While baiting is illegal in Colorado, I usually look for a dead Deer, Elk or Moo Cow to set up on. After this last hard winter, the carcasses are plentiful and the Coyotes are fat.
 
Buy some of the cheapest canned dog food you can find. Punch a hole in the top about 1/4" diameter. Hang it upside down with a string from a fence post about 2.5 feet off the ground, and let it slowly drip. Wait a couple/few days - they will likely be there at night licking and trying to get that can open.

Or just shoot a possum, armadillo, anything and leave out the carcass and wait. Or, when/if you kill a turkey or deer, put out and watch over the remains (whatever carcass parts you don't harvest and put in the cooler).
 
I pick up road kill deer and place along the fence row. It works real good.

I got in trouble with the wife trying out the cat trick. What I did was take one of our cats kittens. I put it in my havahart trap and tied a cord to the cage. That kitten cried for mommy and the coyotes came a running. Everytime the kitten would get quiet I would shake the cage by pulling on the cord. I shot 5 coyotes that night.
 
Another good technique is sitting on a prairie dog town during mid day and shooting as many as you can until 4:00 or 5:00. Go to town for some dinner and come back to the dog town about an hour before sunset. The coyotes are usually there cleaning up the days shooting and you can bag one or two coyotes at then end of the day.
