I use the same scent elimnation procedures as I do when hunting deer and use a cover scent. Also I believe it works for me. Coyotes apparently have a well developed sense of hearing.The sense of smell has to be as good as most hunting dogs. I know that when I use no cover scent the directly downwind coyote leaves. He does not care what he sees or it sounds like an easy meal he goes. The correct cover scent stops them. That when you have to take the shot. It seems like coyotes use their ears and eyes and then it has to smell right when coming. Why else do most circle downwind last few yards? Is the sense of smell dominate like a bears? It does not look that way. Never the less it is an important part of the coyotes survival system. The coyote seems to use all three senses and conditioned response system to beat you.
