What are your thoughts on the cavens HIAWATHA VALLEY bait I haven’t got any thing on it out of the 19 coyotes I have got so far this season

Never used it, but with that said, I know personally folks

that swear by it, especially the just mice

You won't go wrong in giving it a try, Caven doesn't accept failure I

Used it for years, bought it by the gallons, also his Predator plus for if it got cold. Terminator was rough on the grey fox

I'm not a big numbers coyote catcher but had very good results with Hiawatha Valley and some of Caven's lures.

Ive caught a lot of reds on Hiawatha valley

I've done very well with the Hiawatha Valley bait.

Here where I live in Nevada I just haven’t hade any luck with it.

I’ve caught lots of critters using Hiawatha Valley.

I don't have any steel in the ground this season.

Last season the yotes liked the Hiawatha Valley and Gusto plenty well.

Used it for several years with good success. I had a lot better luck with his milder version Minnesota Valley predator bait too.
I did switch to using other makers baits in the last few years and haven’t bought any Hiawatha valley since I switched. Lots of good bait makers out there.

Tim was always very helpful if I had questions, too.

I've used it a little every year. Have caught just about everything here on it. Fox, coyote, bobcat and fisher. I don't have big numbers of coyote and not a lot of time in the dirt before the snow comes also.

If it is as good as some of their lures I would roll with it and not think twice.

Often times the attractant is not the problem.

Good luck in the following months.

I bought a gallon of it, it’s not my favorite but not the worst either. It’s pretty rank, I prefer a fresher smelling bait. Kaatz bros red label might be my favorite lately.

Hiawatha Valley and Predator plus are my go to baits . Caven makes good stuff !!

Works great in SD!

Same in N. Illinois

I just took the tape off bottles of Hiawatha valley and gusto in my stash that is close to 20 years old that i forgot i had, its still catching fur in Kentucky. ( its good stuff )

I seldom use bait except at cat cubbies I go with lure and urine mostly at regular type sets. I make my own mouse bait but I like to age it until it’s sweet it takes a few years under the right conditions it comes out like candy with a very “sweet” odor to it.

It’s my go to,,, I’ve caught lots of fur with it.. coyote, fox, raccoon.
I’ve had coyotes digging out those bait holes clear into march…. Long after the season is over and all the bait is gone. That smell lingers in there… potent stuff

I used it a lot over the years, and had a lot of refusals on coyotes. When I started using it more like a lure, with lesser amounts, the refusals were less frequent. I feel that loud lures and baits, used in dirt holes, with mild temps, can be frustrating. You are catching coyotes, so I’m guessing that the bait is too strong, or they don’t like it!
I would bet that after the season, those holes will get dug out several times as the smell gets less and less.
