Good topic here! Lots of diffrent replys! Everyone has there own way, and they work!


I think the area you hunt has alot to do with how I would set up. Here in the East I dont have much open area, sometimes I haft to get right down in the brush, clearcuts, hardwoods or what ever. I haft to get right in there with them. I like a cross wind but I cant always set up that way. It depends on the area and the lay of the land, with all the hills and hollows here the wind may change 3 times while Im geting into an area to set up. And depending on the day and area the termals may change you scent flow anyway.


What I try to do is look at each stand, check the wind, and use the lay of the land to the best I can. I may not be able to see 40 yards down wind if that, so I try to use the land to bring them to me. If im standing in front of a hollow I think the coyotes are holed up in, I will see if there is anyway I can keep them from geting down wind, rocky bluff, open fields, if so I will always put that to my down wind side. They dont like to cross open areas here and will avoid them most of the time.


Some areas I call are so thick that I cant cover much area, so I will pick the best set up I can try to put myself in the coyotes path that he will use. Fence line, ditches, old growed up roads, brush lines, and play the wind the best I can. Alot of this just has to do with the area you hunt and the lay of the land, and what you have to work with. If I am hunting with a partner....he will always be watching the down wind side!
