This is going to be my first year trapping . And my area is over run with coyotes. What would be the best commercially available coyote baits and lures to use in the NE ? I know there will be a ton of opinions but Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

The folks who advertise and comment here are all good. Best advice mix it up. Remember the old saying. Sometimes curiosity killed the coyote. lol but true. Good luck and enjoy.

Test everything
The yotes will let you know what is best

Get a couple, try them out, take notes. You can test ahead of season as well if you dont want to waste time on unproductive stuff during season. Most importantly is put the bait on location

Your best lure or bait is one that is put in front of your target animal. You figure that out first and you should be busy skinning. Learn to make a couple good clean sets and you will be on track.

If you’re “over run with coyotes” then it’s not really gonna matter. Look up the man above mines lures and baits. I like his canine choice and any bait he has. It’s when you have very few coyotes that it makes a difference.

This!

That’s like asking the Ford , Chevy, dodge question lol. There is no best. You’re gonna have to try a bunch of different ones to figure out what you like and what seems to work for you. That said I’ve had good success with powder river paste bait, several of mark junes lures, horse meat based baits are my favorite.

Test before season and after. When u find a good one you will see the difference. Testing will help become a better trapper too. Help you pick good locations, learn how coyotes work different sets, give you confidence in what your using along with numerous other things. Trouble with asking this question is everyone's opinion of what's good is different based of one's experience and expectations.

Will add I'd wait for some cooler weather to test. Real hot temperatures seem to make it harder to get reactions, which can be good if your really looking for the best, but might be a bit frustrating for a beginner.

You make a good point. What works well in = South Kansas = South Texas = or South Alabama. May not work at all in West Texas or East New Mexico sheep country!

Beaver and castor are hard to beat

Thanks for the input everyone. I wasn’t looking for an easy way out I just wanted a starting point and I have some now . Looks like we got some scouting to do. Thanks again.

Buy some GOOD URINE,Bob J. has good urine as do a few other's,same thing with bait's there are quite a few good comerical baits out there try some bobcat based and horse meat base,pick GOOD LOCATIONS bed the trap well and you'll be busy skinning and catching good luck.

Dakota Prairie Predator bait is and excellent bait,bobcat base with lots of other extra's mink gland being one of them,normally you don't go wrong with mink under tones for coyotes,Cletis has bobcat and horse meat bait which have been good,Marty Smith from Keg Creek has some excellent baits as well,Payne's bait are very good,Cletis bought them Ranch Hand,Cowboy Up and Spur Em Up I had excellent luck with,LOCATION ,LOCATION,ANIMALS NUMBER'S and bed the trap well equals success.Hope this helps.

Here's what I think of that statement!

I tested 5 lures made from one of your "excelent" lure makers and every single one failed in my area. Infact, I'll take you all one step further, I tested the very same 5 lures from the previous manufactuer, the one he bought the business from and they all failed!!!! That's right, I spent my $$ twice for then same FN chit because I hoped the new owner had made positive changes to the original recipes he'd bought. This is a good thing in one way and that is that apparently he followed the recipes!!! And people wonder why when I was trapping coyote I wouldn't spill my guts on request, well the $$ was 1/2 the reason and I could only hope my competition used the worthless chit around me!! LMAO!

I understand some baits and lure doesn't work in all locations through out the states,but you guy's keep slamming everything that has worked well for me and many other trappers.There isn't any lure/bait that is MAGIC in the bottle and never will be.I trap 10 1/2 months a year,conrol trapping livestock protection and fur trapping.I agree there are some lure,bait and urine out there,that catch more trapper's than fur,let the OP try baits and urine and he'll tell us if they worked for him or not.I'm betting he'll do well with some of the above baits and urine that were stated.

How in the world do you know what you use is the best you could use??? Can you objectively quantify each lure’s results against the others?? It’s not my fault that you’re pimping for someone who you say you’ve have had excellent success with their products. I give a rats arse how many months a year you trap where you do but you don’t trap where I do so when you make overloaded or all encompassing statements about certain manufacturers products you only know they supposedly work for you where you trap.

WOW! We are trying to help other trapper's on here,I'm not pimping anyone and I stated above that all lures and baits don't work equally in different parts of the county upper midwest,central etc.I get it that they didn't work well for you,but the OP wanted a starting point to begin with,now he has some to consider.

Think there’s a bait/lure maker named night owl lures in New York. May be a good place to start to the OP. I have never used any of their stuff so can’t recommend one way or another
