A .223 will kill a coyote at 500 yards....if you can hit it. The object of calling coyotes, is to call them close. A called coyote should come in to well under 100 yards, and usually more on the order of between 20-60 yards. I can count on one hand, the number of called coyotes that Ive shot at, that were the other side of 300 yards, and I probably should have just let them walk, but Im as fickle as the next coyote hunter,and just had to take a poke.
