Nutria as bait?

Maybe better posted in lure/ bait section of the forum. But I figured more might see it here… Does anybody use nutria meat or carcasses for bait? I don’t seem to have any problem catching them and I’ve been thinking about it. Had one in a water set (220) a couple of weeks ago and all that was left was the top of the skull and a shredded hide( I still am wondering if mink, otters or maybe a coyote did that?) but am I also thinking about putting some in a cubby set or a dirt hole. What about it? Anybody regularly use them for bait?

Thanks for your input!

I tried it for bait multiple times, was the sorriest bait i ever used so gave it up.

Works on bobcats, coyotes, bear, raccoons fox, every thing here will eat nutria as quick as they will beaver, They were feeding the red wolves on the Alligator refuge nutria for a while there when they started the red wolf recovery program

I one time had a nutria in a conibear hauled up on top of a dike as far as the cable would allow and partially eaten and then covered up by a bobcat.

I regularly put them out with my beaver carcasses for bobcats and they get claimed and covered by bobcats nearly as much as the beaver do. So I say yeah, they do work.

Yep, bobcats fishing them out of the water here is why i decided to use them for bait.

One southern lure maker sells a nutria based bobcat bait.

No doubt can use it as a 'base' and put enough other stuff in it to make it work, i was just using it solo by itself.
