LDW, that’s interesting. I’d be curious if being located in the southeast would follow that trend or not. I’m starting to test out some lures/baits via trail cam so I’ll pay close attention. Thanks for the input! A lot of cameras can be detected by coyotes and therefore have an influence on how they react to a lure or bait in front of a camera. Just a friendly bit of advice. If this is your first experience testing in front of a camera your testing could be inaccurate if your camera influences the coyotes reaction. I always get worried when someone tells me they are going to test something I sent them in front of a camera if they have no experience before with this. Took 5 different brands before I found one that worked reasonably well for this purpose. Some cameras sensing/detection system seems more towards deer size animals and will miss some coyotes also. But good on you for doing so testing to get good answers from your target animals.

Does anyone have a process to their lure choice at a particular set? With gland lures, curiosity lures, rub lures, and food lures, how do you decide which one to use at which set for predators? When do you like to use gland lure? When do you use food lure? Etc. Are you trying to paint a picture/scenario or do you just grab whichever one you happen to grab first? I’m just curious what goes into your lure choice at any given set and what kinds of lure you prefer at different kinds of sets. Basic lure usage is food lure in dirt holes, gland lure at post sets, curiosity lure at flat sets. Of course any combination of these can work anytime.
Till that day.....

No visitors since whatever tore up my paint brush the first night. I have put it on the back burner since I set some traps on the field next to my house and didnt want to attract them to my yard versus those sets. As soon as I get the time I am going to put one of my browning cameras up at my moms house since I dont trap there. You may have answered this before, but when you test, do you put everything down a dirt hole or do you make all kinds of mock sets? I never make mock sets when testing lures or baits. I’m testing the coyote’s degree of attraction to a scent, I don’t want anything visual at the scent test site that could be a distraction and give a false determination of the scent’s effectiveness or lack thereof!! A 1” hole drilled straight down 8” deep with the scent at the bottom and nothing more.

I did make 15 mock sets with a nonfunctioning trap to test their reactions to a real set.
