RE: Always from downwind??
noway' s experience with yotes is similar to mine. No they do not always come into the wind and yes they will cross fields w/o coming into the wind. Our dogs seem to use cover funnels i.e. trees, fence lines etc. to approach a call. I' ve seen time and time again when using a decoy (moving) they abandone caution and " rip right in there" with virtually no wind direction sense. Guess we got dumb yotes!
