Depends on how suburban . . . any coyote I see when I'm w/in reach of a rifle is a dead coyote. Cobb allows discharge of firearms on your own land, so long as you're further than 50 yards from a public road. Outside the 5-county metro, it varies but you're pretty much able to reach out and touch Mr. Wiley.

One of the electronic yote-callers is a great tool. I've only seen 2 and haven't heard them like I used to at our old house, but if I start seeing them regularly, I'm investing in one of those callers and setting up shop in my wellhouse.

I was driving home late one night, passing through a suburban residential neighborhood (right next to South Cobb High School) and saw a well-fed coyote trotting nonchalantly down the shoulder of the street. He looked at me and then ignored me as he trotted on.

I thought about unlimbering the .380 on him, but not in a residential neighborhood - and I guess it would be hunting from a roadway, which is always frowned upon.

That’s a very clever plan!!
