[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2815114, member: 122164"] Guys, you have to remember that a coyote hunts with his nose, eyes, and ears. All the crap that you carry out with you is like a scent bomb with whatever the equipment has been exposed to. It is hard for most to realize just how sensitive a coyote's nose is. Controlling your scent should be a priority. If a guy has nonreflective tape on his gun, wears camo gloves, and a camo face mask, limits his movement, looking back and forwards with is eyes/keeps your head stationary, moving his head very slowly, coyotes are prone to not recognize your form as a man until you move or they get downwind of your scent cone. Your Scent cone could easily be picked up at 250 yards and the gas on the bottom of your boot can be picked up at a minimum of 10'. We used to make portable blinds out of camo parachute material, coyotes kept winding us, we had better luck with what I mentioned above. Darn good advice from a very experienced hunter. On my belt, I had a set of good commercial pruners in a leather holster. I would carve a hole in a bush and sit on a small fold-up stool. Rarely if ever did a coyote spot me with my camo gun, camo gloves, and camo face mask. A coyote can spot a white man's face and hands very, very quickly and at some distance. Where legal, I use two cans of sardines packed in oil, placed in a blue, dark red, or dark green sock transported in a 1 lb coffee can to and from the truck to stand. An old trapper I hunted with taught me this trick, and I have taken a lot of animals with it. A coyote or fox that has never eaten a fish in their life just go crazy at the smell of the heavy fish oil. Scent control should be tops on a guy's list of things to do, but most are just interested in "coyotes shooting" vs coyote hunting. [/QUOTE]
