Bones as bait?

[SadDogSmile]

Anyone try using bones as bait? I've got a trapper character with no dogs and thus no particular use for bones unless I dig into mods. Dogs are coded to eat bones but I've never noticed if wild animals will. I'm going to give it a shot and report back (I've got a pack of wolves lurking around my trap fence . . .) but was wondering if anyone else already had experience.

I generally only trap secondary to active hunting but I've tried bones for wolves a few times and I've had no luck. I wonder if it's like how dogs go for bones, mine only eat bones if I tell them or they are starving and they no other choice. I have never seen a npc creature tagged with a looks hungry. So I wonder if predators don't like them or they never get hungry enough.

[PALU]

The ones I've occasionally picked up in the wild have not been gnawed upon, except occasionally by my character's dog (they have a tendency to occasionally claim they're not hungry in the morning, and then bark of hunger in the afternoon when they didn't eat their breakfast). Thus, I think bones are currently useless as bait.

They make great soup!

Vanilla or mod?

Have to modify it.
Simply replaced {Raw Meat} in .meat soup. recipe with bones.
and made new .Bone Broth.

It's very nutritious.

Can confirm . . . caught a wolf and a few foxes, none of them touched the bones.

The bone pile grows.
