I have in my possession the recently and most tragically deceased body of a young vagabond adventurer. I found I can neither butcher nor skin him, so I lobbed his corpse onto one of my trap pits to serve as bait.
I have already got over the moral implications of this; reasoning that it is simply an iron-age method of donating one's body to science, which I feel sure this young man would have wanted. It's a strictly technical question - are his rotting remains likely to help catch me a bear?
Actually you can slate my morals if you see fit, but I just got the "unity with the forest" message so I am sleeping soundly no matter what you may think ;D

I believe it is suitable 'bait' for a bear if there is evidence of one in the area.
Might also for for wolves.

Carcasses can be used as bait for raven, but I haven't seen anything else eat carcasses (I'm excluding the half eaten carcasses left behind by the animals that originally killed them, as I haven't seen them return).

I was somewhat upset when doing the unfortunate hunting accident that someone had made moral judgements on my behalf and prevented me from skinning and butchering my father, what a waste of resources.
Later I found someone skinning a bull elk in one of my traps, I made short work of him and rescued my winter food supply and clothing. I left his body as bait in the trap but never caught anything.
-
Update: A couple of months on and the unfortunate vagabond is now just a pile of bones. His trap pit didn't catch anything; but then in a trap line of 15 pits - all the others baited with more conventional fare - all I got was one careless elk, so I declare the results "inconclusive". Still, that's science for you!

Your hungry dogs will happily eat the whole body until there's nothing left, as long as you don't touch the body.
