hi mate im no expert ....................but i would say if the wind is in your face your get a better chance of a shot as you will have time to evaluate were the bird is going ,same as clay shotting a bird coming on is easier :thumbs:

For decoying the wind is best at your back as the birds like to land into the wind so they are coming straight at you. B) B) :thumbs:

With the wind in your face the birds will come from behind you making difficult shooting as they like to land into the wind. B) B)
