Default RE: Coyote hunting with a .22LR?

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!
