I was just in my fur barn cleaning salt up from salting my deer hides and was pondering a question. Do you think it will be an issue if I used this salt for freeze proofing my coyote sets this fall? I have almost 5 gallons of it and thought it might be a good idea. Your thoughts?

For winter hay sets, I wouldn’t hesitate using it.

I would think the coyotes could smell residue from the deer in it.

It might work if you salted the whole area not just the trap bed
Population density has a lot to do with what you can get away with at a set
Here with low population and high pressure I can't get away with much disturbance or odd and strong oders

Not something id chance...salt is cheap

Well I will just take it out and pour it on a stump or old rotten log.

Like getting your bait all over your trap and bed. You'll have diggers

I used it to spray poison ivy, then the deer ate the PI.
Seemed like a win until the salt junked out my
cheapo sprayer so I quit.

I used the salt from our old water softener to keep the weeds down in our rock driveway. Works pretty good.

Yep

Save it for Deer hides next year, I to use it around the shed for weed control.

Save it for putting it on your gravel road weeds or for killing unwanted shrubs / trees.

Wouldnt use it for predator sets.

dump it some where the deer can use it

I would put a tablespoon in a dirt hole and see if anything likes it. Deer hide salt might be an attractor

Are we sure that's a bad thing?

Yes digging….

digging is not a bad thing

It is if its digging at ur ur trap
