I have to go a step beyond what kirkned said. A .22 LR is not enough gun for coyote, period.
Yes, you can kill one with it - but as kirkned says, you may never find the animal. The ONLY acceptable time to shoot coyote with a .22 LR is if the coyote is caught in a foot trap and you need to kill it to collect the fur. Even then, I'd want to be within 10 feet of the animal and I'd wait until I got the perfect shot - direct side view, bullet placed between the eye and ear.
