Caught a lot of coyotes on freshly frozen mice. Trapped them around our place, put two or three in a sandwich sized ziplock. And put them in a coffee can in my freezer. I’d take out just enough as needed as season went along for setting and remakes. Toss a frozen or thawed mouse down the dirt hole. They really shined in mowed hayfields and pastures but had good luck with them just about everywhere. Several bait makers have canine baits with fresh preserved mice. A little gland lure or urine and those mice I had stored up made up about my whole set arsenal for many years. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Also used a lot of rabbits and rabbit parts. Accidental rabbit catches turn into big dirt hole remakes with rabbit stuffed down the hole and partially covered. That has been a great coyote bait for me also. Save all your bird guts when field dressing pheasants and ducks too. Those make a great dirt hole bait. Jim

I have found that deer heart or liver works great for me especially right after deer season. Rodents of any kind also work well. I haven't used commercial baits for sometime now.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Hey ratbrain, good one. Muskrat carcass is an awesome bait for just about everything. Caught a lot of coyotes on chunks of carp too in dirt holes. Coyotes seem to like fish. Jim

I trap all summer for a winters worth of coyote bait. I have baggies filled with ground squirrels, chipmunks, rats, mice, moles, and voles. The big ground squirrels, I chop up with an axe and usually just chop the others in half and use fresh/frozen. I have no idea why, but voles seem to outshine the rest easily.
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
