(North central plains region). Above is a very large coyote I observed last Winter. This coyote is right near 1/2 mile from me on the gravel road. One behavior that it shows is. The prevailing wind is at it's back side. As per status quo.
Another bedded coyote. This coyote is roughly 1/2 mile away from me. What behavior it shows is. The wind is at it's backside, as per usual.
Bedded Red Fox. Again, wind is at it's backside as per usual. That understanding of wild canines. Should be known by all predator hunters. Use that understanding to give you an edge on them.

medic joe aka kirby, there is no mistaking your writings. lol
You get it Hellgate. Unfortunately many won't & continue on hunting. In a less than ideal ideology about understanding coyote behavior(s). Paying attention to what is in front of you. Is the 1st learning aspect. A would be coyote hunter should grasp.
Here it is in a nutshell. Coyote behavior 101....Say there is a 1/4 square mile land mass. It has a high fence around it. That land is as flat as a pancake. Wind is from due North. In the middle of that fenced land mass. There is a bush, boulder or a mound of dirt or snow. A Red Fox or coyote within that fenced in pin. When bedded down. Will bed down right behind that structure on the down wind side of it. More often than not. Reason being, they will utilize any terrain feature or object. To cut the wind off of it's body. While bedded behind or down-wind of that structure. They will have their backside against that structure. As they pan to their down & cross wind areas.
