No surprise here, she circled down wind and busted us however, as the saying goes...you can run but you can't hide!

Well guys, I liked that setup much better. Looks like you were on higher ground.
I know that you're taking video and pictures, and that's a lot more difficult that just killing a critter. As I mentioned before, I'm more of the type of guy that will shoot first, then take pictures.
Hammer down!

Nice shot.
Do you ever have domestic animals show up?
Thanks.

The only domestic dog issues we have had are people walking their dog through our stand. It always seems to happen right after sun up in a field that is miles from any house.....weird.

A friend and I were out calling one night, and called in a mans coon hounds. A bit of advice to anyone night calling, you need to be extra, extra careful about ID'n critters before you shoot.
The dogs ran right up to us, we read their name tags. The dogs took off hunting again, my bud and I moved probably?, a half-mile, set-up & started calling. I'll bet it wasn't a minute into the call, here came the same 2 dogs, running wide open straight to us.
Moe and I were out the other night, and called in a herd of cows. We had a little stampede going there for a minute. And deer will come to distress calls now and then too. You just never know what'll show up.

Can't stream here in the sticks..........
Do you treat your varminting clothing like deer hunting attire, to avoid getting busted downwind?

scent sprays will add nothing really to calling coyotes. Using the wind, pre locating and caller location can have a positive impact on the approach of coyotes coming to a call.

First of all, MISTING as I have explained many times is beneficial, when a coyote is determined to circle downwind and you can't stop him. If you can get your mist downwind way before he gets there, you will have a chance for a shot as he hesitates, confused by the scent. That's all the further I will go into the theory, here, but it works, sometimes when an animal is virtually lost. But, to address the specifics of the question, relating it to deer hunting. This scent trapping stuff and so called scent killers is strictly meant for eastern whitetail hunting from tree stands where you spend all day on stand and are at the mercy of variable wind currents. The difference is, coyote stands are of much shorter duration and if you are smart, you will set up with wind direction in mind, no matter how you personally play it. But, you don't need to worry about stinking up the whole countryside in the 15-20 minutes you plan to spend calling. Besides, frequently, a coyote won't circle downwind until he's relatively close and chances are you have been busted and no amount of misting is going to help. A coyote is three or four times as likely to circle downwind at night than daytime, so that's when misting is most beneficial. If you want to read up on it, I can post a link.

Lb I was talking about the so called cover up sprays not misting type applications.
I agree if your wind direction is good no need anyhow, but coyotes can still detect odors with the cover up types. No confusion aspects with just a cover up spray scent less.

Agreed. Cover scents are kind of a joke. At least as it relates to coyote hunting. As they say, you cannot fool a coyote's nose.
However, I have proved to my own satisfaction that a mega dose of rabbit urine with a dash of coyote will check up a coyote downwind, long enough to kill him. But, 90% of my misting is done at night. BB
