Charles KS: Thats always the unspoken word that makes things different from region to region....the larger the population of coyotes vs the available food supply most likely decides how far a coyote will go to risk his hide. Coyotes here in Upper Michigan with a modest population of them and food everywhere they look can afford to be fussy, choosy and suspicious of everything. Ace

do coons care about salt as in avoiding sets because of it im getting ready to try it

No, coons wouldn't ever be suspicious of things out of place. Good luck on the coon! Ace

If Bob W does not get any set avoidance then those kansas coyotes must be dumber than most.
Salt in moist or wet dirt will throw more odor than salt in dry dirt that has not dissolved.
