[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2503000, member: 91783"] That's why I try to use my calls directionally and with a lower or controlled volume , so that they won't cross my tracks . Even in the relatively open country that I live in I want them to come from the direction that I 'm calling towards not from my sides or from behind . It's an art to be figured out how to and when to use scent control along with the air currents , humidity and temperature's . Where I live we normally have lower humidity 15 to 30 percent often , and the breezes or wind come from the west , but the air currents will be raising from the lower parts of the draws to the higher parts of the draws so I'm calling from the tops of the draws into the lower parts of the draws with the brush and often junipers and Russian olive trees in them . The world that I live in is vastly different then the world that you live in so where I live the use of cover scents isn't as important as having less scent to begin with . I don't use any scent elimination such as dead down wind just keep clean and wear clean cloths washed in a low odor detergent and a low odor anti perspirant . We will often have breezes up to 25 or 30 mph when I stop calling but the close observation of wind direction plus using it to my advantage is much more important then trying to cover up my scent for me and in my area . There is nothing carved in stone as to how animals will or won't respond to any of the different situations that we will encounter them in in their world when we enter into it to hunt them . When you are working on controlling coyote , at times 7 days a week for a couple of months at a time , you don't want to smell of strong odors , you don't want your truck cab to stink every time you get into it , you want things to smell natural not strange to the animals .
