Yes, Eastern coyotes tend to be a little larger than those out yonder, and there's a lot fewer of them (but still quite a decent population).
I'm certainly no coyote shooting expert, and frankly becoming one is pretty far down on my list of priorities. My cuz is the opposite though and is organizing a couple expeditions for them at his playground in north central PA wherein I'm just a hired gun. Sitting under cover and keeping my yap shut and being invisible is something I can handle, and the heavy AR is dandy for that approach. (PA only recently allowed the use of semi-autos for varminting.)
