Keep your hunting clothing clean and work the wind. I do spray on my boots

GC, I've been a trapper all my life.A canines nose can be fooled,I've been fooling them for 35 years.Ask any trapper.

if anything use deer urine scent....even then he can pick your scent right out under that masking scent when the wind blows!

I've used Scent Shield for years with good success. But I also do all the little things that go along with it like keeping my stuff clean and odor free in garbage bags, suiting up when I get to my hunting area, not wearing my boots when gassing up the truck, ect., ect. Can I say that scent eliminator is the reason for success? Of course not. It's the culmination of all the little things that I find makes the difference. Then there's all the things you need to do once you get to your spot. Your set up, the wind, a little cover scent by my stand or set up and so on and so on. Almost nothing is foolproof, well except for death and taxes anyway. Guess that's why it's called hunting and not killing. Typically I'll do whatever I think will increase my odds to be successful afield. JMO

I will say this, I agree with everyone about a canines sense of smell. Drug and bomb sniffing dogs, avalanche dogs, cadaver dogs, heck exterminaters are using dogs to locate termites in houses, and my buddy Murphy.........., that son of a gun could find a fart in a snowstorm. That said I still think that every little thing you can do will increase you chances of success like using a good scent eliminator that contains chlorophyl. Again, JMO.

I always get a chuckle (take deer hunters for example) looking at guys all suited up having breakfast in a smoke filled diner or gassing up their vehicle before getting out to their hunting spot. Smelling like bacon and eggs, gasoline, or underarm deoderant just isn't a recipe for success in my book.

I use Navy beans! Covers up my human scent and fools the coyote into thing he found the biggest carcass pile. I am always amazed how a cold trailing hound can know which way a coon or rabbit went. Try Navy beans, will make coyote's eyes water!

"Try Navy beans, will make coyote's eyes water!"

I'll bet they have the same effect on hunting partners! LOL

My hunting clothes live outside. I suit up when I park my truck. If I quad into my spot, I wear a poncho over my cammos or Ghillie and shed it when I start out walking to my stand. No scent block or masking agents. I rub Sage, Pine Needles and grass on myself. I will also rub cow or horse poop on me, roll around in the dirt and grass. I seem to do just fine.

I use the scent Lok suits and scent spray, as well as wash my clothes in the scent free soap, shower with scent free shampoo and body soap. Im anal about my scent control I know. But it works for me!!!

I also am a Trapper here in Ga. My target animal is yotes but I also catch foxes, coons, grinners....illegal aliens, you know.....order some coyote urine from a trapping supply house like Minnesota Trapping Supply or F&T. Spray some about 40 yards on each side downwind of your setup........I agree with JB, a canine's nose can be fooled....

My favorite brand is called Down Wind, it works every time.

Apples and oranges as compared to calling coyotes.

You should sell that little secret to the drug smugglers! Outta be worth a small fortune.

How would you know if a drug sniffing dog got fooled?Maybe they are bringing drugs in under their nose.You would not find the drugs,the smuggler,and thus,no indication that a crime was ever committed.Take a good look in your local newspaper.Watch the news.Look at the kids hanging on your street corner!Drugs ARE coming into this country every day.EVERYDAY!!!It has to come into the country somewhere.To say that it can't fool a drug sniffing dog is stupid.

Of course there are drugs coming in every day. Lots of em.

But to think that a dog gets the chance to sniff every smuggler and/or his vehicle coming into this country is what is stupid.

Do a little research on the drug sniffin pooches. You might learn a thing or two or more.

a drug sniffin' dog ain't a wild animal like a yote. he doesn't have the same fear of human scent, or humans, as yotes do. he's trained to cover and alert on certain smells.....he's not lookin' over his shoulder every day trying to survive....so, even though both are canine's, they are not the same animal, mentally, emotionally or geographically. now, if one could train a yote to be a drug dog, you would put some drug dealers out of business.....
