There are a few things you will learn to do over time, walk in with wind in face , set up cross wind when possible ( best of both worlds) Now , a coyote is rarely going to skyline itself when coming to a call .Most will use low ground or cover to approach you. when you choose a stand take all that into consideration as well as sun position and a good back drop to hide in be it shade or vegetation. get elevation so you can see the areas most likely for a coyote to approach, You want to be able to see down into that sagebrush or thicket your calling.If its early in the morning i can get away with calling downwind as the thermals are lifting my scent use that to your advantage if you have no other choice but to call downwind.NOW NOT EVERY COYOTE WILL COME IN DOWN WIND, So be prepared for the exceptions.Wind is a big deal BUT it does not RULE my stand.Have i lost called in coyotes due to the wind, Not very often, Usually have them down before they can smell me.Pay attention to the details but the most important thing is get out and call,dont give up,and learn, they are not as clever as you CAN be .
