ive done it and dont really care to do it again, not very humane. I learned that if you do use a 22 lr to shoot it in the brain with your first shot not your 3 rd shot.
There is not much more to add. I personally would not hunt coyote with a .22 LR, unless I only had that particular gun with me but not to be used for the intentions to just go coyote hunting. That has happened before, where I had only my Ruger 10/22 target HB with me, and caught a yote trying to go after a llama cria. One shot to the head area dropped it, and a second follow up shot to the head finally stopped it. But, in the end, I wish I had my higher powered yote rifles with me that day. Try going up in a higher power 22, from .222 and up. My .22LR is for target, short range ground squirrels and rabbits, and for other varmints like gophers and such.
