Here is a map of an area. The transparent red is permissable to hunt on. The dominate wind comes from the north west and currently out of the west.
So where would you set up? Why?

In the NW quarter. About 100 yards from the road there is a bush set up next to a two track. I'd set the call at the big bush about 75 yards south, and watch for the coyotes to come down the fence row between the NW and NE quarters.
I'd call from there because I'd rather call with the wind at my back, than have to walk a half a mile to put the wind in my face.

an ass kickin'.

I'd walk in a quarter mile to the east on the north boundary line of the shaded area, then south to where the two-track intersects the topo line. Probably set myself up at that bush about 150 yards east of the quarter-mile line and call to the east. Like Tim, I'd rather not give up all that area to get the wind at my back. But, more importantly, I consider the callable area to be only marginal compared to the unshaded area to the east where all the trees are seen.
No matter how you hunt it, the wind will be a factor to be dealt with and the vast majority of your targets will be near or all downwind of you, very much like my typical calling areas. Sometimes you have no choice but to call with the wind behind you. Like it or don't call. In this instance, I consider my main target source to be the unshaded area east of the half-mile line and will set myself up to bring targets out of that area onto the shaded area where I can get a shot.

I am only one. But still, I am one. I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something; and, because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.
