Actually I’d prefer to NOT shoot them, but if it’s a choice of that, or having one of my Bird Dogs or Ranchers Calves killed and eaten, the Coyotes are Shit Out of Luck.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
Coyotes, Hogs, wild dogs... they all get the stick without mercy.
Shoot whatever load you have; shot placement will still be key, as will follow up shots.
I took 4 wild hogs with 6 shots & hits of MK318 SOST 62gr OTM from an 11.5" SBR (suppressed). The two that dropped from one shot were perfect hits in the shoulder / lung / heart area. The other two were on the move when shot, with one hit each in the extremities (one in the hip, the other grazed a hoof) and follow ups to the shoulder area dropping them. They weren't huge, but were all in the 80-100lb range. I imagine shooting any potential targets in the same manner would have similar terminal effects.
We tend to look for the perfect solution here, but if you have a solid / reliable load that prints accurately and you know your drops, I'd stick with that 9 times out of 10 before chasing the 'latest and greatest'.
Coyotes are a very real and costly variable for a number of M4C members. While not a typical "home defense" problem, a legit one.
