Oregon	I used them this last fall with very poor results, I used them fresh in dirt holes, 30 sets with only one coyote, coyotes would come up to a few feet of hole then leave. I changed to the regular bait I use and started catching coyotes again. If they were tainted maybe they would of worked better. maybe they will work in other areas
