Those guys in the valley used to set hay out for the deer in tough winters.
Not so much for the benefit of the deer, more so for the benefit of the hay stack. Sometimes it worked and the deer would leave the stack alone. Most times not.
Will coyotes eat cow schit?
here in Iowa the coyotes go on cow chit about at the end of the year. Have seen them following cows around eating a hot lunch as soon as it hits the ground, later it is calves. We run them with trucks and always check the lots first
