.22lr for coyote?

I remember the days when we could get that varmint ammo in .22. Some fool shot our pres and a guy name of brady with it and it is now a banned item. Bullets would explode if shot thru a rifle.

If you really want some fun, get a few greyhounds to run them to ground then use a pit or lab to finish the yote off. We used to do this, not so common now tho.
 
No, IMO, I would not use .17HMR, .22LR or .22mag. I have hunted and called the dogs for many years, and the really up close and personal ones that you see on TV are far and few between. That said, if you do get one or more to come in real close, and you miss, now you gave it and its mate, they usually run in pairs, and education. If you hit, but not well, you just missed the point of the hunt, clean kills.

I have killed the occasional 30 yard dog, but very rare. Actually have killed more bobcats inside of 70 yards than outside of 100, because they will sneak up on you and bust you if you are not very watchful.
 
you could use a 22 but it wouldnt make much sense IF you have a rifle that can do the job better. .223's, swifts, hornets would be about the best overal choices for a yote.

.22 will definitely kill them though, if thats all that matters.
