Cold Weather and Scent

[Uncle Lou]

There has been much talk of rain washing a way scent. I was wondering what opinions were out there for cold weather and scent, especially with heavy snow down.

I could have put this in the predator forum, but thought it might get more input here.

The situation I am curious about is, we started a bait pile for coyotes about a week ago and placed a camera over it. We have been in there to check the camera and the bait to see if/when it gets hit. I am worried that we are scenting it up too much checking camera and bait.

Any opinions on cold and drifting snow, or flurries covering scent would be appreciated.

Extreme cold definitely reduces the scent/scent profile. You see this most when hunting with a dog during cold weather. I've personally seen it hunting rabbits and yotes.
