Could I use a raccoon carcass to attract other predators to my trap line?
Filed under: Ask Grant, Predators
I am a believer in recycling and using every part possible in the game I harvest. I recently trapped a big male raccoon and was wondering if I could use the carcass to attract other predators and if so what kind of set would be best? I know that coyotes will eat muskrats and groundhogs but those aren’t vegetarians. Thank you, Ryan Question
Ryan,
Yes, other predators are certainly attracted to the carcasses from your trap line! It seems most prefer bobcat – but will come to raccoon carcasses, etc.
Good trapping!
Grant
