[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1401946, member: 498"] I have snared and trapped lots of coyotes. I never had a snare kill a dog. Most dogs, at least the pet types have been tied up at one time or another. They won't fight the snare to the point of choking themselves down. I like a dirt hole set with the trap back about a foot from the front edge of the hole and slightly to one side. I have used beaver, bobcat, muskrat, horse, beef, deer and just about any other kind of meat for bait. But no opossum, coon, or members of the weasel family as they don't work so well. Slightly tainted but definitely not rotten. I had a real good run one time in northeast Washington using small (half dollar sized) rock crabs for bait. I think it worked because they through off lots of odor but an odor the coyotes had never smelled before. I caught 53 in ten days on that run. Another set that worked well for me was a flat set using a egg shell as a visual and baited with a homemade bait that was 1/3 sardines, 1/3 limburger cheese, and 1/3 lard. I put all those thing together in a blender and blended very well. Scents to attract them can be pretty loud but for bait you want something that they want to eat. Rotten stuff will cause them to want to roll on it. They then roll on your trap setting it off but not getting caught. I also practiced making sets so I could make a good solid set very quickly. The longer you are at the location the more scent you leave. I tried to be clean but was more concern about time spent at the location. [/QUOTE]
