I killed a coyote once with a 12 ga Browning Auto 5 and yes it did kill the coyote. One of two things killed the Coyote after shooting it 47 times with #5 bird shot; did it die from shooting it 47 times or did it die from Lead Poisoning.
Bottom Line,
I wouldn’t use nothing smaller than #4 Buck and at close range!

Never shoot at a coyote with 7 1/2 shot (unless you are within 5 feet). It will barely penetrate their fur and will just give them a lot of pain. 4 buck is good for them within 40 yards. Most pellets will penetrate completely and therefore be lethal.

Like everyone else has already said its not illegal in most states but still check regulations to make sure but I can't see there being anything wrong with it. I've seen coyotes killed with bird shot but I've also seen some run away after being shot 5 times with 4 shot. If you're hunting specifically coyotes I would use nothing less than #4 buck.

I don't believe that #7 1/2 shot will do the job for you other than point blank range. This shot size is design for bird hunting(excellent on early season grouse)and is way to small for your purpose. The majority of coyote hunters up here use #1 buck in 3 1/2" shells, at least the ones I know do.
