I will have as few as 20 ravens or crows on my bait when I drive up.
Have you ever been in bush country and seen a flock of ravens jump up from a kill site? Most guys have and it always perks your interest in what is going on and you go investigate. Imagine what a coyote thinks when he can hear and see that party going on from a mile or 2 away!
Ya I get the point about birds helping out .. but I think scent dispersal is likely just as important . I dont think alot of ravens travel to and from baits at night . My closest bait to a yard is 3 miles and that dog is old and doesnt travel .
