I have to point out that if a noise shy land owner can tell the difference in report of a 12ga and any of the centerfire .22 variants, I'd be surprised. PLus if there are so many coyotes running round that the noise of you shooting them is bothersome, just show them the dead yotes! They will get real agreeable once they see how many there are. If not, then it one or two shots a trip. No big deal.
