Short answer.....Not even close. An argument can be made for the .22mag (I did not say a "good" argument, .22M is lousy too) but not the .22LR. Use the .30-30. It won't do that much damage using big game loads and you'll actually be able to find em when you're done shooting.
In an experts hands it "may" work "some" of the time. If you have to ask you ain't an expert.
All that being said I tell folks to carry whatever they want until they start getting shots at coyotes. Coyotes ain't easy and more than likely you'll have many empty trips afield as you learn. By that time you'll also figure out for yourself that the .22LR isn't even close to big enough. Most won't listen anyway and have to learn on there own.
Also, furs are bad right now and getting worse, not worth hunting if you are wanting to save fur. Wait till November if you are wanting fur.
