however u can still lessen or decrease your scent cone with simple practices to help increase the time a coyote MAY LINGER for a shot should they scent u
I start using scent free soap/deodorant and use it throughout the season on all my clothes and no cologne for work as it gets in your truck
I take a water only shower to try and remove the oil from my skin before I go
I leave my exterior clothes outside to air out all season just hanging on lawn chairs on back porch unless its rains or snows
I don't wear the same boots to get there as I hunt in (why because u can walk in a convenient store they just bleached the floor or filling gas as suggested and it adds to your cone)
will this keep a coyote from smelling me ABSOLUTELY NOT
will this keep my scent cone closer to me and maybe not as lets say for lack of better term as HOT ILO not doing these things sure it will
u CANNOT eliminate yourself/hormones/pharamones/skin oil whatever term u choose to use FACT
u CAN CONDENCE your bodies/clothing smell output with common sense and practice PERIOD
none of this is special or takes extra work its just changing your practices a bit beforehand..........in the hopes that it MAY get u those FEW VALUBLE SECONDS we all LUV at just the right moment and that's it.
good luck!
I can do everything you mentioned here plus some or i could get gas, wear cologne, eat a hamburger and fart every 30 seconds and make the same 100 identical stands and call the same amount of coyotes.
p.s. I do not have scent lock clothing.
