All come in at once or at different times?

They came in a different times. I got to the stand about 6:15 and let things settle for a few minutes. Then I started with a wounded cottontail call for about 5 minutes. 30 seconds after I stopped the first one came trotting in. After the shot I stayed quiet for 2-3 minutes and then started with a coyote pup in distress call. The second came in about 3-4 minutes into it. When she dropped I did the same routine again and the last one came in. I was pretty pleased overall.
I did have one set of pics from the TC this week of a small deer running through the food plot. The next picture showed the 3 of them right behind her. About 2 minutes later they walked back through so I'm pretty sure the deer got away.

I've seen more coyote pups this year than ever. It would be a great year for a new varmit hunter to get a good start...

One shot is all it should take.

Nice job. I bet calling each one in that morning was exciting!

Well, I had been seeing a big boar on camera too, so I took the 30-06 with 180gr. Obviously way overkill on the coyotes, but none of them took a step after getting hit so I didn't have to look for them. Thanks for all the comments, I really enjoyed the hunt.
