A coyote pair will sometimes mate for 2-3 years in a row, but they do not mate for life. The animals you saw a month ago were doing the group thing - mating season was almost upon them and they were looking for mates and territory. Your killing of 3 females certainly thinned the selection, and may have caused some males to move on, but most likely they would have moved on anyways once the alpha pair was decided in that particular area. Coyotes have a decently sized territory, but it is not uncommon to see multiple animals in that area - some will be passing through, others are there to challenge to alphas, and others are just trying to sneak a meal. Any males or females that are ready to mate will be on the move constantly, though, looking for territory where they can settle down and spread their seed. Once mating and then denning begin, animals are much more cautious and are not as apt to come rushing into the call, or exposing themselves in the open during the day. Denning season often pushes them into nocturnal activity - they have mouths to feed, and they know the risks involved with daytime hunting.
There are still coyotes where you are hunting, but they are not going to come in easily. It's time to try some challenge howls and some female invitational howls. Pup distress may also work, and if you have an e-caller you can try some very different sounding prey distress, like gray fox, pheasant, or housecat. Try to peak their curiosity as well as their hungry stomachs.
