We have actual coyotes; can hear them quite close to the house at night 
sometimes.

We also have lots of deer. (And some years they take bites out of the 
tomatoes.)

Bloodmeal works as a repellent, but it works best when the deer have 
enough to eat elsewhere.  In fact, I strongly suspect that anything at 
all designed to keep out deer, including possibly twelve foot slanted 
fences (which we don't have here), works best when the deer have enough 
to eat elsewhere.
