RE: Setting up on yotes???
I take scent control very seriously, not saying I buy all the high dollar garments on the market, but everything including myself smells like fresh earth scent. I've had 8 pt bucks within 2 yds of my tree this year, the doe I killed earlier this month came from downwind of me while it was blowing around 15-20 mph and I was only 12-13 feet off the ground. She got within 12yds right infront of me before I took her. I pride myself on being scent free and taking good care of my gear being free of foreign odors as well. And I know a coyotes' sense of smell is greater than that of a deer, so Im taking this aspect serious. As for the set up, maybe its just me being too analytical, but in my head, setting up I worry about them coming from behind me where I dont see them until its too late. I've heard that can happen. And here in Indiana, we dont have the rolling fields and open areas like places west of here. At least where I hunt we dont have that. So I figure they are in the woods and would come out to any calls. I guess it boils down to having to break a few eggs to make the omelette. I know I wont have instant success, I dont expect to, I just want to be on the right path to becoming a successful caller and hunter of coyotes. Just seeing them come in on videos gets me worked up. To me, thats a step in the right direction for success, you're obviously doing something right.
