Coyotes are not normally pack animals if they can get food on their own. If they are running in packs they are very effective hunting machines.
As far as using a .22 I have seen one get shot in the back with a .270 and then my uncle thought he would finish it off with his semi-auto .22. It took three rounds to the head, not point blank but inches from his head, and the poor thing still died slowly. We don't actively hunt them much here but open up on them during deer season.
Hugh, my daughter has a Marlin 30-30 for her deer gun. Sweet shooting and pretty accurate but not long range weapons but it sounds like you don't need to reach out too far.
