[QUOTE="roughneck, post: 898757, member: 16871"] I have NO IDEA why people call with the wind in their face. Yea... They can smell you, but you kill lots of coyotes that smell you and almost none that come in behind you. In your case, if you're posted up a little downhill, you can't see behind you. Of course everyone prefers a cross wind... I just think it's mildly idiotic to call with the wind in your face... I call a hundred or more every year in TX. 57 so far this year... Guess how many came from upwind....2. Wait until the wind is blowing into that bottom, and be ready to take a decent length shot, say 200-300. I do predator control by my lonesome on some BIG ranches... Folks look at me like I crazy calling with the wind at my back, but they scratch their head when I show them how well the day went. You are also seriously limiting the range of your call when the wind is in your face... Turn on your ecall, stand 50 yards up and down wind. Multiply that by say 25 and that's what they hear. I bathe in scent killer before hunts and leave my calling clothes outside 24/7/365.... Kill lots of them with #4 buck straight down wind that as Garth would say never hit the brakes and were shifting gears.... Of course, lots of them don't know what a human smells like.... [/QUOTE]
