3 coyotes with my shotgun. PICs updated!

Yesterday morning I had a great first stand just as it was getting light enough to see.
As I was walking out to set up my FoxPro I heard some coyotes about 800 to 1000 yards straight down wind from me. Then I heard a single coyote around 500 to 800 yards straight upwind from me.
Instead of starting out with a distress sound I started out with the FoxPro "Coyote Pair" sound. The coyote upwind from me started challenging my Coyote Pair sound after it had only played about 20 seconds.
So I challenged him back with "Coyote Male Challenge 4" sound for about 30 seconds. Then I switched to Pup Distress 3 sound.
About 2 minutes later I saw the coyote standing in front of my FoxPro so I shot him with my shotgun.

Later in the day I had a coyote on top of a ridge show up after calling for around 8 minutes. This coyote just stood their looking towards my FoxPro caller and decoy. I switched to Vole Squeaks on volume 20 and the coyote started heading my way.

Right after I took this last picture the coyote had seen enough and turned around to leave, so I switched from the camera to my shotgun and put him down.

This is the next picture of that coyote.
A few stands later I had a hard charger come in from my left about 10 yards away and I didn't see it until it was 10 yards away.

After I took the above two pictures I shot this coyote with my shotgun and called it a day.
