Cloudy days

Does anyone have much luck on overcast days as in no sun at all?
I have called a total of 8 yotes, in the 3 or 4 months that I have been hunting them and was just thinking that all the ones I have called were on bright sunny days with 15mph winds or less.
I hunted hard this past weekend put in about 16 stands and come up dry every time. It was overcast and we had 10mph or less winds.
Is there some trick to hunting them on overcast days?
Thanks.

I for one love the overcast days, the coyotes seem to move more on these types of days, the only thing I keep track of is what the moon did the night before. If bright moon the coyotes probably hunted at night and will most likely sleep in the morning so I hunt from about noon on. If dark night or overcast all night then they will be out feeding that morning and will usually feed on up into the afternoon.

I would say you just hit a bad luck streak I think the opposite is true, cloudy days they seem to be out longer and hunt more.

"Vegetarian" is an old Indian word for "lousy hunter"
 
We dont get many cloudy days here... but I run/call hard all day when we get them. (provided the wind isnt blowing too hard... also rare)

What about on warm overcast days, like 70 degrees F and a heavy overcast?

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand.-- The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"
 
70* aint warm... thats "Winter" here.

(when the real heat is on here, and there's an overcast day, its all the more reason to keep calling past 9:30 AM...)

GAME ON !
 
Hey Robb, My dad said your homeland looks like Afghanistan. He had to go to Arizona for a meating near Pheonix and flew over Scottsdale. He says the people around there were friendly though, especially the police.

Well the reason people are so nice here is because "everyone is from someplace else"... haha.

I can count the number of People I know on one hand down here that are true Arizona Natives...
