Hello
I just read a post about coyotes finding someones deer before they did. I have a buddy who lives in an area with a good coyote population. He believes that if you shoot a deer and need to leave the area to come back later to track it, that you should place an article of clothing hanging on a bush or something where you abandon the blood trail. He says coyotes usually will locate the deer from downwind and as they circle in they will likely pick up the human scent and vacate the area. So I just always leave a hat, hanki or something.
What do you think? I know for fact if a coyote comes upon my trail in to my stand, it takes off running back from where it came.
