Varmint Hunting question

[xedge2002]

I was just wondering if anybody knows if it is legal to bait coyotes or not? Me and a buddy are planning on hunting them and he is friends with a butcher who will give us bones and scraps if we want them. Also what caller's do you guys use or think sound really good?

Thanks

Sure you can bait them. I use an open reed call, it's name is a critter call. an inexpierenced caller can make this one sound pretty good. I have to say, I'm not an expert at calling though. Maybe someone else can weigh in.

I use randy anderson style open reeds and the verminators tweety, syco tweety,and thumper. Very good calls and cheap like 11.00 or something for the verminators. Also I have a preymaster E caller no good when it gets cold stick with mouth calls.

Baiting works good when they have to use it i have had a dead steer out for about 5 weeks and it hasnt been touched yet but then they aren't really stressed yet with no snow so easy picking for them. Shot my 1st yote tonite in swichgrass at about ten ft we chased her back and forth in a patch of willows and grass for over a good hour till we cornered her in some grass and she belly crawled out in to a open area betwwen a clump of willows and one shot of 00 buck took care of her.
