Greys will. I’ve never seen reds eat it though.

All types of animals and birds will eat corn when they are hungry

One summer we had more damage to our sweet corn field from reds than coons. We passed the field every day to check cattle and almost everyday would see at least 1 either eating or running out of the field with an ear.

As food becomes more scarce during winter, you can find quite a bit of grain in canine scat

Last summer I helped a farmer trap a pile of red fox that were eating corn. I think everything eats corn

coyotes will eat a lot of it when its ripe. not so much after it dries


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I've seen reds and grays eat dry corn laying on the ground several times.

I’ve had Greys lay in it and eat. Bobcat too but only a pair and only one time. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did more frequently but they built about a million houses there and clear cut all of the land.

I have seen greys and Coyotes eating dry shelled corn but both seem to prefer soured corn put out for hogs.
