Great Coyote hunting tip

[OpossumMcMuffin]

Now guys this tip doesn't come from my own experience, as some of you know my luck with Coyote hunting hasn't been prize winning but I haven't given up. This comes from a Tennessee Game warden who is also a very serious Coyote hunter.
,He said save your bacon grease. Choose a spot that you can watch from a good vantage point that you slip up to and remain out of site. Smear the bacon grease on the grass or vegetation. The Coyote will smell this wonderful food and go nuts trying to find it. He will stay around looking for it for quite awhile before he gives up and others will do the same.)
This idea sounded reasonable to me so I gave it a try. I microwaved a big gob of bacon grease until it was liquid and poured it down the side of a red oak tree at 240 yards from my upstairs window late yesterday afternoon.

Guys this method of attracting coyotes works.

At daylight this morning I was glassing the area and a Coyote was coming across the corner of the field directly toward the oak tree where I had put the bacon grease. I could tell right off that he had smelled the bacon grease, he was caring a bag of turnip greens.

I am going to give that a try...

Hmm, that's funny. I'm from TN as well and recently heard this same tip from a friend. Are you from up around Crossville?

OpossumMcMuffin,

A little Kalifonia advise:

Do not get that grease on you or your clothes.

If you do and a dog comes in and busts you it'll associate that smell forever more with humans.

I don't think that's legal here, baiting I'm sure. Of course we have laws on how to wipe your butt correctly here and unfortunately more than enough people willing to enforce it...:,

No Hunt127588, I'm from near Jackson.

MrMister, I doubt that it is technically baiting as there's nothing for the yotee to eat, but then again maybe it is. You're right, we don't even know how many laws we have much less what they say, and most of them made up out of the mind of some blasted bearucrat.

But officer that's not bacon grease, that's just where I barfed up my breakfast. Here taste and see.

What happened to the thing with the cat, I have spent all day looking around Atlanta for stray cats and I caught 16. Now what do I do with them?

 

[MrMister]

OpossumMcMuffin,

I live in Kalifornia.

We have laws for things the morons in Sacramento haven't even thought up yet...

Thanks for posting this. I wonder if canned dog food would work.

I was told to use sardines to get bobcats. The old hunter said to get 3 cans of sardines that are packed in oil or water,not flavored) and punch a hole in the can and hang them about 50 yards apart. I plan on trying it out pretty quick.

I believe Paul or some other moderator removed my post about using a live cat as your coyote bait. Too bad because it works great. The cat is perfectly safe in the milk crate. I guess since the 6mmBR site is originated out of the politically correct state of California we don't get the unsensored version.

Just exactly what we need Rusty. More politically correctness. Pretty soon we are going to have get permission to visit the mens and ladies room. And, Lord forbid if you stay too long the police will come in to see if "everything came out alright". Yea, I am being a little harsh on our wonderful law makers but you know what? Some of the dumb stupid stuff they come up with needs to be made fun of. We have a very "sick government"

 

[MrMister]

RustyStud,

FYI

Most liberal morons in my state,The People's Republic of Kalifornia) come from other states. I not saying we don't have home grown morons because we do, but actually finding people born and raised here isn't all that easy.

If Kalifornia was to purge all our liberal morons back to where they came from this state would be in much better shape.

Look up the history of predator calling, you'll see that most of it originated right here in the land of fruits and nuts!

Don't paint with such a broad brush is all I'm getting at.

Mrmiser:

I could not live in the land of fruit and nuts. I for one was hoping that the rest of the fruits and nuts would migrate to the southern left coast. They deserve each other. Then nature would take its course and the whole bunch fall off into the ocean. I am sorry if there is a little collateral damage to normal folks. That is the risk normal folks take for living there. This is way off the thread topic and I appologize to the person starting this thread. Back to Coyote hunting nothing works like the real thing. We use shiners for fishing, what is wrong with putting a cat in a milk crate to call in your coyotes. Folks put their cats in travel crates and fly every day. If I were a cat I would much rather be in a milk crate singing my "meo songs" in the country than in a cat crate in the hole of an airplaine.
