No one has to go digging through scat, especially coyote scat. They are
omnivorous and when they find food they stuff themselves on it. It isn't
hard to spot the undigested corn, cherry pits and hair. And... FWIW...
coyote scat is also quite distinctive because it is usually tapered and
twisted at the ends, like big spliffs. I once taught nature studies in a
summer camp and that including identifying the local wildlife by their
scat.
