It will work better the ever. You can't make a Coyote sick with rotten meat, they love it.
To give you an idea of how well it should work, let me explain how I use it.
One of my favorite and most effective Coyote baits for trapping is well rotted beaver meat. I cut fresh meat into chunks about two inches square, then place them in a 5 gallon pail. I cut a hole about 4 to 8 inches across in the lid and melt metal bug screen over the hole to keep the flies out.
Then I put the lid on tight and wrap an old towel around the top as insurance and hang the bucket in a spruce tree well away from any occupied buildings and well away from bear country. It'll bring bears in from miles away. This stuff stinks to high heaven!
I let the pail and it's contents sit for a couple of weeks or months if need be, in warm weather, and it's ready for use. For use I fish enough meat out to fill a used coffee can, the big plastic ones. These are how I transport the bait to the trap site.
I use these in dirt hole sets. In short I bury the bait and set a trap next to the hole containing the bait. It works like a charm.
I've tracked Coyotes who were over a hundred yards away, that when they got downwind of my bait, they turned and went straight to it.
Remember, this is one two inch chunk of meat in a hole. Not a whole pail of it dumped on top of the ground.
It will work.
