From what I understand, it's relatively ineffective if the deer don't
recognize coyotes as a predator, which those who have not been
exposed to them for centuries or ever, would not. I know dog urine
does nothing if the deer know the dogs aren't running loose.
Applied deer repellents have to be reapplied after *every* rain and
eventually the deer get used to them or if they are really hungry,
the eat the plants anyway.
