Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
Get em withing 50 yards and nail them in the brain and it'll do the trick. A little underpowered for body shots, but it'd probably do the trick anyways.
Hunting coyotes with a 22lr will result in more wounded coyotes than it will dead coyotes. Will a 22lr kill a coyote, yes, but if you don't place a perfect head shot(brain) the coyote will run off and either die eventually, or live with a bullet in it! There will be no blood trail, to speak of, so don't expect to trail one that has been hit, unless you have tracking snow! The 22lr is a rabbit/squirrel/target gun!

I wouldnt recomend this but it has been done. I would use something bigger I want to use my 12 guage with buckshot on a yote.

It can easily be done within 50 yards. If you try it, i would use cci's velocitor bullet thats made for foxes and yotes its a 40 grain bullet that shoots faster than the average 36 grain so its big and fast.

There is no such thing as 22lr ammo. that is "made for fox and yotes!" The 22lr was not made for it, and neither is any ammo! The 22lr is NOT a predator rifle..period!! Can a 22lr do the job, sometimes yes, was it made to do the job, NO!
