.22 WMR - Adequate for coyotes?

I’d imagine a pellet gun would kill a coyote and deer, wouldn’t exactly be my first choice if I had an option.
I’ve killed hogs and deer with a .22LR, just didn’t have anything else in the truck at the time.

Quite true, though the problem with him is that he’s got a commercial poaching operation, not the firearm he uses.
 
While the 22 Mag can kill a coyote with correct shot placement, it is not an ethical caliber to use. If you can make a good head shot, that is best. But hit him through the snout and he dies an agonizing death.
