snare distance from bait
Hi fellas,
Just started a new bait site last weekend intended for wolves. Some roadkill, ribcage from deer, beaver carcasses, etc. There were no tracks at the time, so I just hung 1/2 dozen snares on adjacent obvious trails in the bush. All 6 were within 60 ft of the bait. Checked today and had 2 coyotes, but they were badly picked over from ravens. Too badly picked on to salvage. No wolf tracks in the area thus far.
I'm thinking this is way to close to the bait? Ravens moved from the bait to the dead coyotes? There are definitely more obvious coyote trails after a week of the bait being set up so I was thinking of hammering the trails this week with more snares. What is your nearest distance from your bait? Thanks for your help. First time I've lost a coyote to a bird.
