I attempted to skin a forward quartering shot yote. The stomach was popped with the 65gr vmax, that had some odors coming out I couldn't handle. Did not finish skinning, it is still laying where i dumped it, the vultures won't even eat it.

The worse ones are around pig composting units. Those all seem to have some sort of scours, so outside/inside coyote smells.

A few years ago I was in a coyote tournament. My partner went one way with his truck. I went the other way with my Jeep. I got a couple and put them on a tarp in the back of my Jeep wrangler. One was gut shot. I had to have the windows down at -25. My wife wouldn’t ride in my Jeep for a month.

No wife, no kids, no worries.
The minivan was an everyday "beater", with the back seats taken out.
I've had several in the past, especial great for traveling to rifle matches.
Nobody would figure there's several thousand dollars of gear in the "soccer mom" vehicle in the parking lot.

Just like coyote hunting, never say never!
In 1983 I took the wife's new Astro van to the TSRA state HP match in San Antonio. Most of the competitors stayed at same motel, so 90% of the vehicles in the lot belonged to shooters, many of them displaying TSRA, NRA and other decals identifying them; not the Astro, but that didn't keep some misfit from doing several hundred $$ worth of damage to the passenger door attempting to break
into it. Fortunately, I always took all the rifles, scopes etc. to the room at night.

True. I've heard of people also scoping out the shooters at a match & watching what/which vehicles they drove, then doing their dirty deeds late at night in the hotel parking lots.Just like coyote hunting, never say never!

I had made a false floor in the back of mine to hide the guns from prying eyes.
The van had tinted glass and you couldn't see in. Only thing left in the vehicle at night was our ammo.....probably a good thing we didn't have it in the room.
The van was parked right below the 2nd floor door of our room when alarm went off about 2AM and scared him off before he gained entrance.
++Gotta love the extended cabs.
That is the fallacy of the concealed carry laws that force CCW's to shed their firearm before entry into restricted areas (Post office comes to mind, especially since even the parking lot is prohibited).

While I generally tend to agree, sometimes is just not feasible.
