Location location location. If your close to their travel way and your using a decent bait/lure the wind Isn't a big factor.

I have several locations where I always put in 2 to 3 sets, and try to hit both sides of possible wind or travel directions. Also certain land features work no matter what the wind direction for me. Outside fence corners...here I use a big hole and big dirt pile outside the hole. Coyotes running either direction along that fence get a good visual set to see as they approach the corner. All you have to do is catch their attention. Once close enough they will smell bait or check it out and you got em. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

The prevailing wind is just one thing to consider, thermals, etc. Sometimes the sets on the other side catch the most, use shorter backings so they'll walk all over it. Give um a focal point that they can see.
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

Set prevailing wind on location period!!! Next trap placement accounts for a awful lot of catches imo even if some say it don 't. And if really concerned about wind set a second trap 9inch back behind backing .
