I've been seeing fake coyotes set up in farm fields near where I live. They're 2 dimensional cloth things, coyote shaped and printed with a coyote likeness. They're stiffened by wire. I typically see them set up in large fields 4-6 of them spread over the field from 50-100 yards between each "decoy".
My question is, are these decoys intended to draw attention of coyotes for varmint hunting purposes? Or are they a scarecrow type thing intended to scare away other small animals or birds?
I live in a semi-rural area north east of Seattle. There are a crap load of coyotes around here these days.
Anyone know the answer?
