[QUOTE="ERIC K, post: 1397310, member: 100191"] I hear you about the wind I live in North Dakota and wind is a very real pain in the butt here for coyote hunting. It will help you sharpen you skill not only as a shooter but as a caller as well. Not only learn wind drift but how to set up with e caller , use mouth calls to move sound around, place decoys so that coyote sees it before he circles around. we try as often as possible to put some kind of natural barrier that forces coyote to come around in front of us without going through scent cone we are making. I have found calling using the wind to extend call range works good also by putting call out in front using cross wind hopefully get coyotes in and committed to decoy before coming round far enough to scent us. We have also seen how smart these critters are now that they are worth something lots of hunters and trappers afield making them very wary. we have switched almost completely to night hunting near full moons as we cannot use artificial light and our success has been great. its the one time the coyotes are so bold that they tend to make a lot more aggressive decisions in the dark. I only wished I could afford a thermal scope. At least then I would not need the moonlight as much and that would help as we have seen winds last couple weeks up around 30-40mph and although that is miserable put snow and -30 to -40 degrees below windchills and it almost pointless to try you just don't have very high success rates and its hard on you and equipment at hose temps. just not worth it. Too bad I have a real job that is cutting into my hobbies. [/QUOTE]
