Have any of you seen Coyotes react negatively to certain scents,or learn to associate bait smells with Danger? I’d think that if you used a bait repetitively in an area...they’d learn to avoid it & your sets
Coyotes are very curious creatures and imo that is their downfall.. While some may disagree we are not trapping animals that are Mensa members. I do not believe they can associate a food smell with a trap in the ground.
While I do take precautions while bedding traps with human odor but I do not go overboard with it.
I think the issues comes with un-natural looking trap area. Here again, imo its critical to make it look like another critter has hid something.
