Just ammonia wouldn’t bother me much. If you have a cheap source, grab new wool…. I quit using it altogether years ago. I saw no decrease in catches to note…..

Belly or butt wool, don't hurt a thing. If you don't have confidence in it get new.

I use sheep's wool In my dirt holes and It works just like a lure. I also use It as a lure holder at some sets.

I get mine when my neighbor Poncho has a sheep die. Better quality then the stuff I’ve bought

The neighbor has some sheep and when he shears I get my wool allotment. It really stinks like sheep.

I've had better luck with underfur combings (of various creatures), but we don't have that many sheep around here.

Got away from sheeps wool a few years ago for the most part. Still use some at flat sets. I take a deer hide skin side out unfleshed and nail it to a tree to dry some. Then I cut different size chunks off to hold bait in dirt holes. Works pretty good. Also use deer ears. Works is awesome in big holes. Bait in the ear and put in the hole ear butt down. Hard to hook a toe in it and pull it out. Yearlings work the best.
I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'.
More trappin' and less yappin'.

I've been using deer hair over the bait in dirt holes for years. Nothing more natural than a chunk of deer liver, lung or meat scraps down a hole then plugged with deer hair. Starting in Oct. coyotes start feasting on gut piles and lost deer. This may not be legal everywhere but is in my state. I'll have to give that deer ear a try. Sound like a great idea.
