    Coach and OSW - some helpful intel for you when using bait for coyotes and some pointers which have worked very well for me in the past: Now if you are hunting the bait pile and a pack of coyotes comes in (very likely), and you are successful in dusting off a couple dogs out of the pack, you have now educated the remaining surviving members of the pack about bait piles. The likelihood of them ever coming into bait piles again is next to none(especially in daylight hours). With that being said, here's how I've been able to smoke the whole pack using bait. Figure out how the coyotes are entering and exiting the bait pile. Once you have that figured out, hunt the trail they are using, not the actual bait. I\m usually a couple hundred yards away from the bait. By doing this, if you kill some of the coyotes from the pack off the trail but not all of them, the rest of the coyotes don't associate the bait with their buddies being killed. Therefore, the rest of the coyotes will keep coming into the bait, more than likely using a different path/trail. However, I have found them using the same trail even after a shooting. Rinse and repeat the formula and you should be able to put some fur on the wall.

    The flipside to this is if you have the ability to line up the 3rd Battalion of the Canadian Military and the ability of put some serious lead in the air, hunt the bait and leave no survivors! Best of luck!

    The bait area lends itself nicely to accompanying a battalion! I will monitor things and advise. If it heats up we will call in the reinforcements....... Standby
