Wind, coyotes & Red Fox

[1snafu]

It is all about the wind with coyotes & Red Fox. They will utilize any & all natural ground cover. To cut that wind from their face. Both canines travel from one down wind area to the next. Using the up-wind areas mainly as a transition area. To get from one down wind area to the next. The above is key to remember. As a tool for tactics. To get that hunter close. To where a wild canine might be or knowingly is.

Neither canine likes any wind blowing directly into the front cone of their ears. When on the move, both canines will angle/cut any prevailing wind. As they cut through it. I believe that behavior is twofold. As to why they cut through wind. 1. Cut down wind on their face. 2. To scent more area up ahead or upwind of where they are.

I will also add. When bedded down. Both canines will have their backside angled away from the prevailing wind. The higher the wind speed. The more in-alignment, their snout. Will be aimed down-wind.
