Does this go State by State, or is there something Federal that pertains to it? We've got plenty of coyotes around here now, and guys hunt them--but usually they do it by finding a place where they pass through, or finding a dead critter, and then sitting, waiting, and popping them from the other side of a meadow. A couple of friends of mine hunt them from the edge of cornfields. When they get one, they leave it, claiming that coyotes will eat their own dead. I've never heard anybody make reference to baiting them any other way. I've only hunted them once myself, on the edge of a friend's cornfield where he had shot one earlier. but none arrived at the carrion that day. My hunting is generally woods hunting, and I've never seen one in the woods. In the spring, though--I can hear them in the middle of the night, howling over by the edge of the woodline across from the Christmas Tree plantation that is behind my back yard. It will wake one up. It goes on for a while, then abruptly stops.
