.22 rimfire is legal for both bobcat and coyote

I'd say OK for the Bob's, but not so good for yotes. In either case, I would look for sumthin' that has a little more push,,, but that's me. If it's all ya got and don't want something else, have at it, but with an understanding of the limitations that the .22LR has (read close shots).

Maybe consider a 12ga??? But be aware that there is shot size restrictions for yotes.

I disagree..... .22 will work good with a good expanding bullet at close range. But under 50 yards would be best.

If you want a real good coyote caliber go up to a hot .300 load or my personal favorite, my .338 with 250gr Nolsers! That drops them pretty quick.

That may well be but his question was if it would be "good " so I guess that would be all in ones perception of good .... will a .22 kill a yote ? for sure ... one thru the lungs and it will wander away and die eventually .
I think there are enough guys out there shooting grouse with .22's and having them fly off (wounded) . So while some snipers (Mr Dean) could make that precision "tween the eyes " shot , I wouldnt recomend it for everyone

a 22 rimfire does it without question and it kills them dead as long as you do your part.

Not a problem at all as long as the shot is a reasonable range and spot on and you can always double tap if you have a semi .

Some good ammo out there that will do the job dont use the subsonic or standard velocity stuff.
