I’ve got a few carcasses, red fox and raccoons. Can I make bait with them?

What do coyotes prefer?

You can probably make something out of the fox meat... Meats commonly used are beaver, bobcat, muskrat, horse, cat, deer meat... there are lots of choices out there, but I've never read anything good about raccoon

Raccoon doesn't seem to be high on the list in these parts.

Ok thanks

road kill deer is good

What you can do with things like the coon carcasses that aren't high on the preferred bait list, is to make a bait pile. Toss the coons, and whatever else you have or can scrounge for free, roadkill, butcher scraps, etc. The birds will eat anything but otter in my experience and a bunch of birds making a racket and eating will draw the other predators to the vicinity, for you to make sets for around the periphery.

I once had a trailcam on a carcass pile in late winter. Raccoons would feed on red fox carcasses big time. I think a pretty effective late season coon bait could be made from red fox meat.

I knew some old timer trappers who would switch from fish to muskrat meat for late season coons.

Lot of coons lay on the roadside here and do not get picked over by anything even crows. Same with possum, nothing touches them.
A deer gets cleaned up very quickly. Watched a deer in ditch this past week go from fresh road kill or just rubs sticking up in less than a week. Not sure on fox. Beaver and rat meat has always been good for me at bait sets. A quarter of a rat carcass in a dirthole is awesome for just about any predator including coon. I tried to make a beef bait one year since coyotes seem to want to work over a dead cow pile pretty well. Had zero luck with that. Pork was very good though. Chicken wasn’t a great response but duck and pheasant parts from cleaning some after a hunt or two did very well on my line.
Just my observations.

Strange to see the possible regional differences in preferences. Around here fresh coon, possum both get cleaned up by the birds of prey pretty fast when in road or if you toss one from a set. Saw bald eagle feeding on fresh coon in road yesterday. In other hand deer are not touched much. Was a deer laying just past eagle. It’d been there for awhile and not touched. But it might be function of number of dead deer too. However I wouldn’t use coon fir a bait
