Last year I asked the same question and I added coyote carcasses to a bait pile that I had yotes visiting for a month. After adding them the yotes stopped coming. It could have had to do with something else that I did wrong though, but that's what happened.
This year I've been throwing them along a tree line of a patch of bush and the birds are having a hayday with them. I noticed numerous coyote tracks coming into the site from the bush so I put up a couple of snares and I managed to catch one coyote. He was not in good health though so that may have come into play. I haven't had any coyotes drag a carcass away or feed on the ones that are there.
I'm not sure one way or the other but for now I'm not adding them to my bait piles but I'm treating them as a separate bait pile by itself. I think that the birds are enough to draw them in to have a look.
