Just chiming in gunslinger
Kind of new at this compared to many here but have been baiting since June of last year behind my place when I got NV for my rifle. Have used quite a lot of different baits like dry dog food, canned sardines, canned cat food, bacon grease, table scraps, old frozen gone bad hamburger/steaks, skunk scent, old peanut oil, and probably other things I cant even remember.
Have 4 trail cams set up to monitor what comes and goes nightly from various angles/distances. Anyway, I've certainly helped out the coons, possums, fox as they come in every single night and wipe out whatever I put out. Lately the crows are showing up as well during the daytime hours to clean up anything left over. I usually get about 800-1200 pictures each night so there's much to learn about what comes in and at what times.
Never really see any coyote "response" from one bait type to the other as far as I can tell. Dry dog food works just as good as anything else for me and is much cheaper at Walmert (thanks Ol' Roy). When a yote starts showing up, I add a smelly can of sardines or bacon grease soaked paper towels which seems to bring them in pretty good probably due to the smell I'm guessing. I probably spent $20 bucks every couple of months for dry dog food for bait. 50 pound bags of Ol' Roy.
Some might think baiting is a lot of work but I enjoy it and it gives me the opportunity to take the dog for a walk in the morning to check the trail cam pics. I learn a lot by seeing what and how the animals act. Put the bait out in the evenings and repeat. I use the scatter method like DU mentioned and works well.
We had a fairly serious yote infestation when I started and after wacking 8 of them we dont have a problem anymore but I stay on it daily because I know they'll start showing up again someday. I have one that shows up every 8-10 days but doesnt come in every night yet. While waiting for that one to come in more often, I started hunting over at my sisters property a couple months ago using the same methods and wacked 7 so far, and their yote problem has subsided considerably.
Anyway, maybe try dry dog food instead of the baitstick and see what happens? Good luck and keep us posted.
