Since I’ve tested lures for decades I always test new bottles of lure. First they have to pass the smell test and the “white lables” didn’t smell like the yellow. Something was different. So I took them to the field to test alongside the yellow labeled lures. It’s all recorded on my Youtube channel. That particular batch of white labeled 2019 was literally avoided by coyotes! Period!! Did I mention I don’t trust any scent manufacturer?? Whereas the yellow label (pre2019) was very attractive and they dug the dickins out of it. I called all over the US trying to find trapping suppliers who still had the yellow labeled Pros Choice & Canine Call on their shelves and bought what I could find! The old “Trust but Verify” still works for me.

As I was still trapping coyotes at the time I never gave names but it’s no holds barred now since I quit coyote!

1., do you have a large population of coyotes? I do not have a large population of coyotes within the territory I trapped them. I had what I thought at the time,1998, that I did but I quickly knocked’em back. Easy-Peasy By 2010 I could see a serious and steady decrease as I continued to trap the same general area. I quit trapping coyotes in 2021 because I couldn’t make gas $$ going in and catching the few homies in a few nights and checking empty traps for then next dozen nights unless I went outside my territory and I had no desire to do that. It got to the point I was waiting 18-23 nights for a coyote to come back through after killing the homies.

2. As in do you get pics/videos nightly or even several times a week? Or do you get a pic/video every couple of weeks if that soon? I’ve tested scents since the early 70’s so I’ve learned that if I’m testing to see the attractiveness of a coyote scent, I need to be right on top of the coyotes during the months I’m testing March-August. I spend a great amount of time on private properties finding/locating coyote families inter-zones and I search out stall-out locations between frequented hunting areas during those months. The sole purpose of testing the attractiveness of a scent is to get as many coyotes in front of the scent as possible and in order to do that, I found I need to be right on top of of them! I set out cameras for 14 nights, some locations will only get me a few sightings and others, if I’m on top of a family unit, I may get as many as 5-6 sighting during the 14 nights. I have had test locations where I’ve had multiple sightings in a single night and could identify individual coyotes. Even videoed (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) carrying pups and months later watched those same batch of 5 pups try to work a test scent at the same time. It’s all on my Youtube channel.. Sightings should not be construed as set visits or working of the scent! If during the 14 nights I would see 3 coyotes come through 3 nights and I could identify them doesn’t mean I have 9 different coyotes on that property! LOL

3. curious how long your lures sit before being discovered? I paid little attention to how soon I saw a coyote, anywhere from the 1st night to maybe the 3rd, I expected a quick sighting because of the test location I’d chosen. It’s all about the coyote and it’s reaction to the test scent, I could give a crap less about how many times or when a coyote came through, I’m far more concerned about what the coyote’s reaction was to the scent I was testing. Everything else is meaningless! Though I couldn’t control the wind direction and the scent laying near the ground with the heavier nighttime air I learned to understand coyote body language whether they missed the scent of found it. I most often allowed the viewer of my testing videos to make their own conclusions of what they saw which was interesting.

Cameras in video mode are a super tool when testing scents compared to my early days of having to find suitable ground within a coyote’s inter-zone where I could read tangible sign of a scent’s attractiveness or lack there of.
