Question Predator hunting with a ghillie

i recently just finished making my ghillie suit (I think) and i decided to put it to the test today by putting natural foliage in the netting with the burlap. The suit is very good and breaks the outline really well. i have seen a lot of pictures of ghillie suits that only have the burlap and netting on the back and legs which means that you would have to be prone for it to work which mine is setup for. I'm going to be hunting coyote in the woods where there is no open fields and i really don't want to be prone in the middle of the woods where a coyote can come from behind and the way I'm gonna be shooting low and at a close range of 50yrds. should i just put burlap on the front of the ghillie so i will be able to sit up?. one thing about the ghillie is that it smells and makes me smell because ill be hunting in the summer and coyotes have a very keen sense of smell.Should i still try it? Alot post say that it is too much and is really not needed while others say they have stalked deer and have gotten 10 feet up to one. If this ghille is not quite swell for hunting then ill just put it to use and scare my neighbors >=)
