Has anyone used O'Gorman's Powder River Paste Bait or Ray Milligan's "Predatory" bait.
If so, how do these perform?
I'm looking for a stout, and strong bait for a change up this year for coyote and fox.

I've used Milligan's chunk bait. It's fairly strong smelling. Powder River-can't say. Never tried it.

Yep,
What cajunbill said. Lots of loud bait+warm weather=non-target catches.

It's been my experience that any time the temp. is 30 degrees or better, the grinners are on patrol in large numbers. Better to use a milder smelling bait, or no bait at all, only lure. Staying 15-20 feet away from the thick stuff helps too.
Canids and their sniffers are funny critters, sometimes. Years ago, I found a large pile of fresh bones that a deer/beef processer had dumped in the woods that smelled to high heaven, and I thought to myself, this will be a good draw. I was planning to set the trails and woods roads 20-30 yards from the pile, hoping to catch one in a travelway coming and going to and from the pile. I watched the trails and roads around the pile for sign, and the only tracks I saw in the snow were crows, buzzards, and rodent tracks. The canids totally ignored it. I found 'yote sign, tracks and scat 50 or so yards away from the pile, and they never even checked up their stride, just motored on past. Reds and greys never came around close to check it out. I thought maybe they would at least come around close and mouse around the pile, hoping to catch a rodent, but not at all.
