Scent Detection - How Does it Work? Have you ever experienced sitting absolutely still in the woods when a nice buck
starts your way and suddenly he stops, sniffs the air, then stamps his feet and
the next thing you see is the white flag bounding at hyper speed in the opposite
direction? Alternatively, after miles of hiking and climbing, did you spy a
trophy bull elk and after crawling through the briars and bushes for what seemed
eternity, to see it simply disappear when you poked your head out of the scrub?

From Coyotes to Crows After our month long archery season in Oregon ended, my husband and I hadn't gotten enough hunting in. Since I was the only one that got a deer, and he had to wait until late season to try and archery hunt again, we had to find something to fill our time. Our friend had just gotten a new coyote caller, and we thought we would give it a try. We had seen a few coyotes when we were archery hunting and thought the area would be good to try, who knows, maybe we would see that bear we had on our game camera.
