Yup, they can come surprisingly close. I've pulled off (somehow)
hunting them with a mini 14. Any of the light varmint class bullets will take care of a yote. With those bullets shot placement is critical..... You must hit them between any two of the four legs
I was shocked at how frail to gunshot wounds coyotes actually are. It is in sharp contrast to A raccoon that can take a nuke to the skull and get angry at you
