Hand calls

I have another question in regards to hand calling. Let’s start with I’m new to hand calling in general.
Coyotes will typically get down wind of the sound on the approach so do you guys somewhat face down wind when hand calling?
I’m mostly hand calling in timber with a shotgun so it’s close range business. Lol
When running an ecall I put my call upwind 50-60 yards and face into the wind as should be and try to get set up for basically a more cross wind shot if this makes sense?
Just curious the approach that others take with hand calls and close range shots.

In my area I'm hunting broken up bush patches and open pasture so il setup with the wind quartering from my right in the hopes that when they circle they come to the left. If possible I will setup behind a hill or with a finger of bush nearby to force coyotes close before they can see me. (Coyotes here are fairly dependent on their eyes it seems.)
