Nice work Mike. So did you ding one or two?
I find it great that you are able to get them to vocalize even during a weather change, allowing you to close the gap. Here in the east, penetrating a coyotes core area or personal space seems to be the only way to get a response. Asking one to cross a field or two isn't going to happen.
With the mt lion story so popular right now, and you hoofing through deep snow on shoes with a couple coyotes on a drag line, folks are saying "and I saw a couple of coyotes running a man down too!"
