100MPH winds

[Iron Worker]

We know its impossible to hunt coyotes in 100mph winds ,but what about 15 -20mph winds ?

No issue calling in high wind. If we didn't call on windy days, we wouldn't get to call very often.
You just need to pay attention to how you set and what calls you are going to use. If they can't hear you they aren't coming.

High pitch cuts wind easier, a loud e-caller will stretch your range etc etc.

To many fair weather hunters stay home...which makes me happy happy happy.

If you live in an area that normally has windy conditions your coyotes are accustomed to it and its business as usual even if wind is up a little from time to time, in areas that typically dont have wind the wildlife all tend to behave differently when the wind starts to shake they're world up. If the predators are hungry and they hear your calls over the elevated environmental sounds they will come. Turn up the volume and watch your down wind a little more closely and you can still get r done.

If you can pick your hunting days..... here is my favorite weather recipe for downing dogs, two days of howling winds that usher in a winter storm that dumps 6" of snow over night with light flurries and no wind right at daylight. If you get these conditions, take off work, call in sick or whatever it takes, the dogs will respond all day sometimes. After keeping a diary over the years documenting all conditions prior to and during the hunt, these conditions consistently produced more dogs per day than all others. Hope this helps.
