S&W makes a great gun. It should shoot minute of coyote just fine. Lighter shorter barrels make for a better experience when hiking all over the countryside all day. On the 8 or 9th stand you will be glad that you have a lighter gun.
And as far a triggers go Springfield is a great inexpensive guy to put the battle trigger into a range/hunting trigger for cheap ($35).
