That certainly makes sense. Draw them to the area then have them available
when the pawpaw flowers open. Maybe a few small road kill that will
disappear quickly at the very beginning of the flowering period. Timing would be
key. The flowering period here lasts about 2 weeks, depending on weather.
Carrion at the very beginning then no more.
