If that mean's I shouldn't be in the woods then my entire way of living is way off. And has been for years.

Of course there is the alternitive that the person who hunts coyotes with a .22 successfully may just spend more time in the woods than on internet forums and can actually shoot well rather than just shoot.

Looks like some of you guys should take out the old targets to practice and maybe crack open a biology book.

If you are unsure about your ability then I agree that you shout use something bigger to ensure a clean kill but if you can shoot well a .22lr is plenty
