Thought they were a recent development, but they been around awhile! For by grace are you saved by faith, and not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Coyotes were already here and I am guessing it wasn't too long b4 some patriot noticed that a butt sniffer loves anything that stinks worse than he does. I am guessing meat based baits might have began around the same time or not long after that. Your screen shot cropped off some of the writing but it only made sense to me the post was about either horses hooves or the meat itself used to catch wolves or coyotes “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

For at least some time (to my understanding) the only hides worth packin out were beaver, bison, and bear. I don't have any idea when a coyote skin coat became popular but yeah, you nailed it.
