1.Scout area well before even thinking about hunting,look for sign,wind direction,ect.

2.Make sure that youare scent free as possible,same as gear an equiptment..

3.No noise after leavin the vehicle,dont slam doors,loud talkin,ect.

4.Be extreamly still,limit your movement once on stand.

5.Be Patient,It can take up to 5 minutes to over 1 hour for a coyote to show.

6.Leave the area the same way you came in,quite,you never know how many sets of eyes you have settin out there watching you.

I don't understand...#2...Make sure you are scent free as possible, same as gear and equiptment?

#1...I hear coyotes smell through what ever you have on or are trying to hide. All the pros say no way you'll fool a coyotes nose?

#2...are coyotes scared of the smell of oil off your rifle? The smell of oil or gas off your truck? Do they relate any of that to danger?
I mean most coyotes smell trucks all the time, is it that important when you are hunting them?

Should you not set up your stand so you won't have to worry much about the coyote getting downwind to smell all those goodies? I'm just asking. :wink:

Yes its true that it is near impossible to fool a coyotes sense of smell, but it certainly does not hurt to be as scent free a possible.

They are "scared" of any foreign odors, more so with strong or "fresh" foreign odors.

Yes it is wise to set up with the wind in YOUR favor.  :wink:
