The only place a coyote would smell it would be straight down wind of the e-caller. If the coyote is straight down wind of the e-caller the coyote can smell the e-caller and maybe the guy doing the calling.
Shooting the coyotes before they get down wind of you and your e-caller is a better strategy.

I've smelt some trapper lure scents that would cause anything in the world to hesitate after getting a whiff of the stuff.
Best bet though is to shoot them before they smell anything from you.

I've used a fair amount of trapper scent when trapping, some of that stuff is the nuclear option.
I once saw a couple guys hang cardboard tags(like a sale tag)around with a dab of trapper scent to attract coyotes and hopefully get a shot.
I hunted the same area with some success calling. Never saw them score or any sign of a score.
So it's not all about how bad you smell.

So, so true.
I once asked a game and fish biologist about cover scents. He asked me if I had ever been in the kitchen when my mother or grandmother was cooking. When I answered yes, he then asked how it was that I could smell the different ingredients that they were using. He said that a coyote's nose, being hundreds of more times sensitive, works exactly the same. He said that the coyote would say to itself, "there's a guy with coyote pee on him around here." Cover scents don't REALLY "cover."
As GC and Bob said, set up your stands correctly, so that by the time a "cover" scent would become an issue, they are already dying from lead poisoning.
Around where I hunt, coyotes seem to come in and take a look at my stand from downwind. So I set up where I can watch the downwind, but with the wind across one shoulder or the other. That puts my strongest scent concentration away from my caller.
Most of our coyotes won't necessarily approach from that downwind side, a lot of times they try to flank the caller. So putting the call out ahead of me, drops them right in front of me.
So my stand set ups give me at least two opportunities to get a shot at them in most cases and sometimes more.
