I just read on another thread some one has a pet coyote who loves eating night crawlers and bugs. I was just wondering if any of you lure makes add night crawlers to you baits? I would hypothesize that they might work especially if coyotes like eating them? Might be that one thing that sets your bait apart OR. won"t !! Any ideas or are they a common ingredient? Thank You

I don't know what ever happened to him but a guy calling hisself scottytheboy used to be a regular on tman. He bought some of O'Gorman's Powder River Paste bait to try in NY where he lived. I remember him saying that Powder River smelled exactly like some nightcrawlers he had forgot about and let rot. Said he was going to try them as bait. Seems like he just kinda disappeared from here before he ever said how they worked.

LOL anyone ever accidentally spilled a fly trap? Both my dogs will roll and pee any time I dump mine. They get the same response from dogs as fish juice LIVE LIFE LIKE THEIR IS NO TOMMORROW
