Some years ago I had a bait pile going on the family property,I started with 2 beaver then had about 12-15 'coon carcasses on top of the beaver.Nothing touched them for awhile then we had a hard freeze and a little snow.2 coyotes came along and dug under the mountain of coon and frozen ground to get to the beaver,never once touching a coon.They came back periodically digging for more of the beaver.When the beaver were gone so were they.Later the crows,ravens and other birds were on it picked on it all winter,I never saw where the coyotes returned.I've found coon makes an attractant,but once found predators lose interest in it fast.

Possums and coon will lay on the roadsides here and eventually just become grease spots. Nothing, not even crows will touch them. Deer, rabbits, etc. Though when roadkill get drug off and cleaned up by scavengers but not coon or possum.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
