We can't do anything about having birds, but the turkeys and other birds aren't scratching to get to our seed because there is much easier pickins to be had. Would a coyote actively pursue fawns as hard if there was plenty of other easier pickins? Like I said, just thinking out loud mostly....... smile


I hear what your saying, and it might would help, although i would think they would quit eating persimmons to eat fawns, kinda like deer quit eating corn or food plot for acorns.
