Try to give them a way to use cover to check your wind, at night they will always try to rely on their noses first. I use the edges of cover and try to get my wind to blow wide of the cover so they don't have to go across half a field to check the wind. When they step just out of the cover you should be able to connect with them. I try to setup about 90-100 yards away from the edges. I use ditches, unmowed grass, hedgerows etc to coax them along. If it is comfortable for them they tend to utilize the cover. There was an articke in Predator Extreme a while ago with some pictures of setups I put together, send me your e-mail and I'll send those photo's to you.- Matt McDonald
--Matt,
That 2/08 PX article about you and your hunting partner's system was just incredible! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif
I made detailed notes and created Google Earth diagrams applying it to some of my areas, with various wind directions.
I'm from the west originally and have only got a few years into calling Easterns in this very different terrain here than what I'm used to and I can see why your system works.
I can't wait to give it a try here in MD. That was very generous of you guys to share your technique with the rest of us. Thank you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
