running coons off bait?

Post by OO BUCK »

Is it possible to just take 5 gallon buckets (instead of 55 for bear baites) and stand them up in the woods with doughnuts and stuff like that and run the dogs off that. I need really fresh scent for my pup so im thinking i could get some really fresh scent if i bated them. does anyone do this
