Default .22 for coyote??

I want to start calling coyotes this winter but the only guns I have are a 30-06 or a .22 but the 30-06 doesnt have a scope on it so I'm leaning towards my .22 any apinions??

Quite a change in power if you think the scope will hold up yeah go for it because you"ll have a much better chance of killing the coyote, Its all up to you but I just think a .22 would be a hassle

like he says, scope up the 30.06, the .22 will have to be real presision
