Quick Answer
To clean your coyote hunting gear, start by inspecting and removing any excess debris, then wash items with mild soap and water, and finally dry and store them properly.
Pre-Cleaning Inspection
Before cleaning your coyote hunting gear, inspect each item for any visible debris, such as blood, dirt, or other substances. Remove any excess material that can be easily wiped away with a cloth or brush. Pay close attention to areas around buckles, zippers, and other hardware, as these can accumulate debris.
Washing and Cleaning
Use mild soap and warm water to wash your coyote hunting gear. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage materials or compromise their effectiveness. For example, when cleaning your coyote calls, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any debris, and then wash the calls with mild soap and water. For gear with leather or suede components, apply a small amount of leather cleaner and gently work it into the material with a soft cloth. Rinse all items thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
Drying and Storage
After washing and cleaning your coyote hunting gear, allow all items to air dry. Avoid using heat to dry your gear, as this can cause materials to degrade or become brittle. Store your gear in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Consider using a gear bag or pouch to protect your gear from dust and debris when not in use.
