Oh yeah been there in the school of get my butt kicked on "winding". Here is what I have picked up.
Seems like calling with the wind at your back is a major no no or not preferred,but guess I'm different.
Calling with the wind at your back..
ALWAYS have a good "cone" for your downwind. (200 yards=cash money)
Crosswind preferred,but if the wind is at my back and I have a solid downrange "cone", I'm not bothered.You know where there going..DOWNWIND 90% of the time.
Make your shot BEFORE they hit your "cone".(At what range they present a logical shot)
Never be upset to bag a set based on wind.You will just be more frustrated on a botched set.
Most all my coyotes are shot right at the 200-250 mark.Open country permitting..
Keep a log...you can really dial in morning/evening wind and base your sets on predicted wind direction.
Granted an e-caller can give you and edge and allow you to play the wind better,but I gotta say using mouth calls first gave me a little more "schooling" before i jumped to the foxpro.
