RE: How important is de-scenting for coyote?
A coyotes senses are far better than any other animals. Their noses make Deers look stupid.
coyotes smell 1 part in 1 million!
The best cover scent to hunt coyotes is a scent of a coyote. Since your probably not gonna find coyote stinky stuff at walmart, just keep your cloths scent free like Deer hunting and play the wind going to and at your stand. That is your best line of defense!
