That will take down a coyote and it is not a loud gun. Check your local ordinances to see if you can fire a pellet rifle on your own property though.

Here in Georgia, you do not even need a hunting permit to kill a coyote. And, there is no limit to how many you can put down - they are a nuisance animal and they kill everything.

The ones near me are the size of German Shepherds and can easily maul, maim, and kill an adult.

more expensive one:

or get a .177 and save $$$

P.S. Since coyotes are nocturnal, make sure you have a backstop and know what you are shooting and what is behind it in case you miss. It takes a lot of skill.
