Trapping crop fields when the farmer has spread cattle or turkey manure.
I have never had much luck until a couple weeks after it has been spread a good rain is always a plus.

Never have dealt with that situation, but if I were to venture a guess I’d say that manure draws rodents and so a coyote is probably uninterested in the bait. That’s just a shot in the dark though, I really have no experience to back it up.

Semi solid manure or manure spread with typical spreaders on to fields can bring in a lot of animals looking for food, rodents, birds of all types, canines, skunks etc. etc. Around here most is liquid manure at about 95% or more liquid and there is far less large solid material in that manure, plus due to regulations that liquid must be worked in or knifed in within 48 to 72 hours or application so manured fields here are not the best places to set, but field roads getting to and from those and other fields are not too bad. Not wanting to do that yet as there is just way too much traffic yet to come on these field roads. We have farmers that are still looking to take another cutting of alfalfa due to feed shortages in our area.
The late planted cover crops (sudan-sorghum mixes are being cut with disc bines as the ground hardens, so there is chopping going on yet and even some very, very late corn silage being harvested.

bblwi our crops are 95% out of the field we don't have the 72 hour worked in laws here.
I an dealing with solid manure and Bob you are probably right on the field mice.
I will give it a couple of weeks and set .

I just don't like getting the poop on my trapping boots. It gets in my truck and the next few sites.
I set trial sets just off the fields. Or in the field roads if they are not poop covered.

I trap a couple of brome fields and they will put liquid fertilizer on them in December weather permitting. Not liquid manure but liquid fertilizer, the stuff that smells a little like diesel fuel. First couple of times it happened I though it would mess up the trapping for a little while but I regularly catch coyotes within the first couple of days after application.

I try to avoid places were manure has been spread. But I have caught a few coyotes that smelled like hog manure.

I would say turkey manure would draw something in, maybe a bunch of skunks. We don't spread manure this time of year so I can't give you an intelligent answer. We are limited to certain times of the year as far as manure spreading goes.

Ask him where the manure spreader is going after turkey butcher day. I been there, you're welcome.

It's definitely an interesting question. But I am unable to come to a definitive answer because it could vary from field. It could depend on how many dead birds are in the manure.
