Well I went out this morning with the wife's best friend's boyfriend. Who for some reason didn't believe in scentlock. "I don't trust that stuff. Besides coyotes aren't like deer." It was a lost cause to try to get him to understand that their sense of smell was just like a dog only they don't like humans.
So went out to a piece of state land and say LOTS of sign. I was blown away by the deer sign where we were in the woods too. So we walked a 2-track out to the fields where we were going to hunt. About 2 hours of calling and he was ready to go home. We were walking the 2-track out and you could plainly see the "fresh" tracks from some coyotes in the snow. They had circled in behind us to try to wing us as I expected them to do. Just like a smart deer. I told him that the coyote left him a calling card for him on why scentlock was important. A nice pile melting into the snow!!
