I have a decent size deep freezer that is completely full of beaver carcasses. I'd like to set up a bait station to snare coyotes. Our terrain is pretty open and we're limited to cable restraints. Any tips? There will also be about a 3 week gap from when I place the carcasses to the time I'm able to trap so I was going to hold a few back to freshen it up.

I believe coyotes feel more at ease working a bait station when the bait Is left out In the open. I just follow the tracks to cover and then hang my CRs.

Thick cover, lots of bait and let them work it before you set it up. Think big

When using beaver carcasses, I like to use a cable to fasten them to a tree. Keeps them from being drug all over the place. A 3 foot chunk of cable with a loop in one end and an adjustable loop on the other. Wrap around the tree or branch, slip adjustable loop through the fixed loop, then the hind leg of the beaver through the adjustable one and you are set.

If it's cold enough pile them up and pour water on them and freeze them down.

Who’s hauling water around in the winter just to freeze down a couple pieces of meat? I’m always amazed at how complicated you guys make things when it comes to hunting and trapping.


Cold as ice!

I like to back off a ways. Catch them coming and going.

River breaks here have some narrow draws surrounded by cedar trees a guy can snare away from the draw station no problem in the open bottoms. I like a new snow to show what trails they are using then set.
