How much success have you had calling coyotes in the rain?
Now, I know there are many variables to that question such as "Drizzle or Monsoon" and "Define Success" but I'm trying to get an idea how coyotes behave in wet weather.
I'm piecing together a pattern in my experiences with wet-weather coyotes and I'm kind of fishing for some input from other guys with similar experience to validate my findings. Any experiences with certain calls in the rain? Certain terrain or specific setups during a downpour?
Input is appreciated:

I don't do much calling in the rain, feeling that prey & predator tend to hole up and wait out the weather. One of the few times that I have called between showers on a rainy day, the only coyote that I took came in like most others. Odd thing was that with everything being wet, the coyote's fur was dry.

The trip we made a couple weekends ago had 9 or 10 called for the two days. VERY windy and snowy also. The weather seemed to bother us more than the fauna.
edit: I didn't the mention fact that it was raining off and on(mostly on) all day. You were supposed to read my mind on that. [ November 19, 2005, 09:55 PM: Message edited by: Doggitter ]
