up here and with a 1 cat limit,i'll watch for a big track in an area and target it.-we have a lot of cats.then i'll hook a rope to a fresh beaver and drag it from the road in to where i'll be settin,make 2 cubbies with big chunks of beaver and drag the rest back to the truck for the next stop if need be. be careful with big baits in PA as they must be totally concealed from the air/above. good luck,mine from last yr.

generally jut catch them with my cat meat bait. This morning had one on a big piece of flank meat off a deer i killed this weekend. I do notice that cats and fox prefer fresh bait while coyotes like it better a little tainted. But either or will work.

Domestic geese should be fine just make sure you use a bird that you can prove is not a wild one like a white one.

you can call it anything you like. i call it a prepared bait. critters like it. i catch more using a prepared bait, or lure if you prefer, than i do a straight bait with nothing added. rabbit fur, feathers etc are good too. probably have some odor value as well but i think primarily sight value. people always talk about visual attracters for bobcats, a good idea imo, but you rarely hear about visuals dealing with coyotes. visuals at coyote sets are a good idea to. just more subtle than a lot of the stuff people use at cat sets.
