Wind or crosswind in your face and place the call x amount of yards away from you into the wind as well.
If the wind is in your face, how do you see the coyotes that circle downwind?
Chupa And always use the terrain to naturally funnel them to you. Ditches, fences, hills, brush lines, game trails, even shade lines. Of course wind direction is crucial. Being able to recognize the likely avenue of approach and set up the stand accordingly does wonders for my success rate. Choose your stand location wisely so you can see them approaching if at all possible, and sit (or stand) in a spot where you are best suited to take a shot. It takes a lot of trial and error and learning from your mistakes, but eventually it becomes natural when you know what to look for. Will you still get back door'ed? Yeah but not as often.
