Meat, fish, corn, apples, donuts, horse feed, potatoes, sugar beets, bird seed or just about anything else that we eat.
Raccoons are the Garbage Disposals of the forest.
Check out these two coons brave enough to eat right in front of a black bear.

Any of those mentioned above will get a coon to take a look. If you want to bring them from a couple hundred yards and you are very serious about catching a coon, you need to wet a cotton ball with a few drops of "Coon Kicker".
You can buy it online and that is by far the best I have ever seen. It smells like a concoction of fish/crab/crayfish that they just can't resist and they come from a long ways to check it out. If you are serious about catching coons, put the cotton ball in the bottom of a "Coon Cuff" trap. If you don't get a coon with that, there are no coons around.
