Title: Coyote Hunting with wind
Post by: Bennick16 on October 02, 2015, 11:38:01 PM: Hey guys,
So in Grant county, we get wind pretty much all year, but it has been especially bad lately due to the changing seasons. My question is what are your hunting experiences in the wind? From what I have read, coyote hunting is not very productive in anything over 10 mph. However, the articles I read were not for Washington, so what being said, do coyotes adapt to their climate in such a way that they will still be active in stronger winds (say 15-20mph)? I want to get out and try and get a few but the wind gusting upwards of 20 is making me hesitate to get up early. What do you all think?
