She said she fixes the mulch and the next day its tore up again....this has been going on for awhile now she said. Would this be SKUNKS looking for food or a coon?...i did see some deer crap under a tree would deer do this? I thought skunks. Anyone ever run into this before?

Last time i was guessing a skunk.
