I have been growing outside since 1972 and I probably have dug over 3000 holes. If you use blood or bone meal outside you are asking for trouble. It might not never happen because an animal doesn't find it. But if an animal (carnivore or omnivore) finds it they are going to dig for it.
Like if you bury a sandwich under ground. It won't automatically get dug up but if a bear walks by it will get dug up. Why take the chance?
Bone meal and blood meal aren't all that great anyhow. Yes they work but why use them outside when other stuff will work just as well and won't attract animals. To me that is the bottom line. They can attract animals and you can lose all your hard work. To me it isn't worth it. Especially in raccoon and skunk territory. That is heartbreak waiting to happen. Skunks are actually very smart, very powerful diggers, have excellent sense of smell and are relentless at what they do. Raccoons are bad enough but they aren't the mad diggers skunks are. Skunks are always digging grubs and can smell underground quite a distance.
All that said you could very well not have a problem in the world and have a great harvest with your soil mix. There is more chance of that then disaster. But the chance of disaster will be there with bone and blood meal.
Good luck with whatever you do though. At least you are going to do something and that is the most important thing.
