Slab i was gonna say this earlier, just get a small game tag if you dont have one and wack it... itll keep coming back, itll get more and more fearless, then one of your dogs will get messed up...

buy the tag and you are fine, wont have to worry about legalities or anything, its cheap, and i think coyotes are year round..

wounding or just stunning it is just gonna make it smarter...

i used to shoot these things for "hunting privlages", they can be dangerous... especially when you have one coming in from behind you on a flat.... rocky areas are even more dangerous...

shoot the fvcker dude... dont play with wild vs domestic.... not with coyotes atleast...
