I caught a coyote on a game trail that was about 100 yards from a buddy's tree stand. He swears he had no deer for about 2 weeks after that both on his cameras or while sitting. Possible? Probable, I would say not because of the coyote. Although deer baiting is illegal in Michigan lower peninsula this year there are still people doing it. My explanation to him was someone must have put in a feed pile close enough to divert the deer on his trail. It is a big main trail and he used no bait. He insisted that after I pulled all 3 sets from that trail deer started moving there again. I say the feed pile was gone and they went back to normal pattern. No real way to prove either theory. I do know that when baiting was legal I had a coon in a trap on the bait and shot an 8 point while he was caught there. I watched him get caught about 30 minutes earlier.
Wish I had more time to trap....
