I've had them come into deer ribs and other meats hung from a tree high enough were the coons couldn't eat it but all they did was circle the bait a few times and leave after they knew it was there. I've had good luck with cheap dog food from Walmart, 40-50 lb bag for $20. I spread a jug of food out every day and wait for the trail cam to tell me what direction they come from,time,and how many. I got over 50 pics in one night of two dogs eating the dog food last week. If the coons make it there first they will clean u out but sometimes the coyotes will be there first and u can get some great pictures with a trail cam and have a good spot to hunt.
