I've heard various stories about this, anyone experieced this too?

I recently killed a coyote and moved it from out in the open were I shot it, to a different area, and left it there. This spot were I left it is visible from my house and also not too far from my bait pile - I used to see coyotes everyday there, but have not seen or been able to call any since.

Will having a dead one around ward the others off? Curious if this is proven or not.

I would say no. I've shot mangy ones and let them lay and called in coyotes out of the same draw the next weekend. Just my experiences though, usually I don't let them lay unless they are mangy and most of the time even if they are i'll drag them to the road ditch.

coyotes always will check out other coyotes. dead or alive. I use them at trap and M44 locations all the time.
