In my opinion you don't want coyote slowing down looking for bait or lure. Place your bait or lure In a strategic spot then set the trails leading Into that lured bait pile. And keep those snares at least 30 or 40 yards away. AS coyotes get close to that bait pile they become more wary and are more alert to their surroundings .

I use lure for fox with snares, I have a scent post set. I have not tried it for coyotes yet but I guess I will try now if I can find the right spot for it to maybe work.
I use scents with snares different ways also. there are times and places that they work not a set that I would set every day. Jonesie can do this by using his DOUBLE LOAD system. With out his DOUBLE LOADED snare. It wont work.

Although I haven't done it a lot, I've used both lure and bait on brush, with snares guarding trails, with some success. I've noticed though that they will go through thick brush into the wind to get to the lure or bait (tracks in snow showed this), then use trails when they leave.

A certain experienced NJ snareman once told me that you have to think about where the animal's head will be when using lure and snares. Like a coon hound when he gets on a trail.

Not a smear bait on trees but I have had great success putting out bait piles and then coming back a week or so later and setting on the trails they use going to and from them. I prefer to set as far away from the bait as possible. I have had places where I set heavily very close the the bait (back far enough to be legal) and had great success right away. But after a couple dogs get caught too close to the bait the rest won't work it again for a long while. Where as when I can cable them farther away they don't seem to associate the bait with the disapearence of their pack and I continue to pick them off longer. If you can catch them 100 yards away or more it is easier to keep catching.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

If you can catch them 100 yards away or more it is easier to keep catching. That's the way to do It. That's the way I prefer as well. The problem is in years like this when there's no snow and it was fairly warm, the coyotes wouldn't hit my large baits consistently if at all. So I put some lure or some bait on some brush, then set snares on the potential trails a few yards from the bait or lure. I snared two this year in such sets, was near my large baits that they didn't touch too.

Jonesie also uses baited snare boxes and pipes. They might see more use in his business but not sure of it. Definitely a trapper who challenges you to think well outside of the norm to get the job done-habits/behaviors first, methods to match, second.

The snare boxes work better in fur trapping than they do in ADC work. Bob Noonan's martin fisher boxes work, just increase the length. Snared cubbies also work good on fox and coon I bet they would work on cats also if done right. The key for me is the cable has to fire on the stall. Does double loading get the cable to fire on the stall?
