I have not tried my 17 on any coyotes but i have kill many squirels,rabbits, coons,and crows with mine. One squirel was killed off of the front porch of the camp i head shot him at 60 yards. My dad killed a 40 pound hog at about a hundred yards.A head shot of couse. Head shots are CRUCIAL with this round. Use the new XTP bullet it holds together a little better. My gun is a marlin 17V with a heavy barrel. If your barrel is as heavy as mine then it is kind of hard to aim free handed.Good Luck
