Default Shootin 'yotes w/ turkey load

some of you may have seen the pic of the coyote that i posted in my thread "is this a big coyote?", well i was wondering how effective a 12 gauge with 5 shot would be on the coyote out to about 30-35 yards. i wouldnt hunt exclusively for it, but i'll be turkey hunting in a couple weeks, and i would love to harvest the coyote and get the pelt tanned or the skull mounted, but i defenitely dont want to just injure it. I know it isnt the ideal coyote load, and is probably down on the list, but would it make the kill? where should i aim, shoulder or head? i will be using a semi-automatic shotgun, so there would be a chance for a follow up shot, if that matters at all. thanks alot, im not too familiar with coyotes.
