When you check your snares try to walk direct one path to your bait and fan out to your snares from there and don’t walk right to your snare if you can see it from a ways away. Don’t walk around the outside of the bush looking at your snares as the coyotes will be more weary having to cross your path to go into the bush to the bait. Your not really feeding coyotes anyway at this point your making them curious by feeding birds. If you keep your human traffic to a minimum things will get better. Even with your truck or quad or snowmobile however your getting to the bush. Use the same path to the main entrance of where you will walk a path to your bait don’t drive around the bush in a circle or along side the bush edge to. Check your snares unless you know your gonna get enough snow to cover your tracks. After you’ve taken a few coyotes from there and spent enough time milling around the others that Havnt died will become smart and you gotta do what u can to outsmart them. Especially if there’s a dominant one that knows your shenanigans they’ll walk right around or skirt by and the rest will follow.
