I got REAL lucky again

All I can say is 'when it rains it pours' and I will take as many downpours as I can get. 4th set and 3rd farm of the night. I am facing N, the call is about 70yds N of me and the wind is W to SW.
Started with rabbit then a bird, nada. Went to a howl and got a response what I thought was way to my N but may have been just well down in the hollow on the other side of the meadow. After some single young howls and a group young howl I hit a pup fight. 2 came busting out of the thicket to my W at about 50yds and must have made me as I muted, dropped the scanner, and got into the gun. 1 stopped behind some brush and I 'let drive' w/o vid. Finished him on vid then made a scan N with the gun and see another about 200y out. #2 is down. I run some pup dist for a few minutes and call it quits. Shut off the remote and scanner then put them away and turn the laser onto #2. About this time, one starts barking from the thicket where #1 is laying! Now I am acting like a 1-winged bird learning to fly trying to get "stuff" back out and turned on and my diaphragm in (my mouth Al :ROFLMAO:)! Pup dist back on and me challenging/barking. I see 2 moving through the brush and one stops, I am about to send one into its mellon (only clear shot) when it moves on. I switch to pup screams and turn up the volume to 3/4, still challenging. I am now in the scanner and see 2 out close to #2! Call is still 'screaming but I do lessen the volume, and these others are still carrying on--I don't know where to look and am now in the gun swinging back and forth. EXCITING to say the least.
Anyhow, the vid tells the rest.
2 adult males. Male and fe YOY #1 was about 55yd 2, 3, 4, were 193 to 215 per onx. 3 had no exit and 4 was behind the shoulder and did exit but both still ran 30ish and got into the thicket requiring some looking. #2 I did what was told to me and hit the shoulder-no exit.
