A hand-made coyote decoy stands among a gaggle of geese at Forsythe Park in Hammond, Ind., Monday Aug. 11, 2008. A number of the decoys have been used in the area, hoping to keep the hungry geese away from grass and other plants.  (AP Photo/The Post-Tribune, Leslie Adkins)AP - Phony coyotes set up to discourage ducks and geese from gobbling up seeds and fresh shoots from wetlands plants didn’t fool the fowl, but humans were another matter.
