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.
