I have chased them on the prairie on my ATV and 40 mph will catch 'em in a reasonable distance. 45 mph catches them faster and 50 mph (on my Grizzly 660 or Yamaha YZ250 dirt bike) will suck them right up. One time, my well man was working on a windmill and I was riding out there to see what was up when I jumped a coyote. Just for fun, I herded him 2.5 miles across the pasture and drove him right past the mill, but they were already gone. 35 mph got it done- any faster and I'd pressure him too much and cause him to dodge and turn. I was doing some zig-zagging at that speed, so I'd put him closer to 30 over that extended distance.
