If you call them or have a wounded decoy you can shoot them at ~100yds.
If you hunt them at night with a call and a bright light system they might come all the way to your truck. I say shoot them with whatever is handy--I've killed them with .22LR but that was what I had at the time and wasn't looking for coyotes when he showed up. I would say overall probably a 223/5.56 with a scope will work just fine.
