Coyotte is NOT small game!
These will certainly kill most small game, up to foxes and raccoons ( you may want to choose a .25 caliber repeater for follow up shots…)

For a coyote…

Any 22 caliber air rifle that fires a pellet at 800fps should work for small game up to 60yds,it will kill coyotes out to the same range with a head shoot,if tou take a chest shoot keep it under 45yds.

C_F_45 nailed it. To kill coyotes you need a large bore, high-power airgun. That usually means a PCP gun in .30, 9mm, .45, or .50 caliber. However there are more than the DAQ rifles he mentioned. There’s also the Shinsung Career 707 Ultra in 9mm, the Sam Yang 909 in .45, and the Shinsung Career Dragonslayer 50, which would have more than enough wallop for coyotes. Since they are production guns there won’t be the waiting list for custom guns like the DAQs or Barnes Justice.

As far as hunting small game like pigeon, squirrel, or rabbit, any hunting airgun would have enough power provided you keep the ranges modest. Springers predominate here, though there are a number of affordable pumps (like the Crosman 2100, Benjamin 392/397) and PCPs (like the Benjamin Discovery) that aren’t unreasonably priced and which would work well. For larger animals like raccoon, nutria, possum, etc… You’re mainly going to be confined to the more powerful .22 and .25 springers and PCP guns since the extra power translates into a greater safety margin (more penetration, more downrange energy, bigger wound channels) and range.

Comment on What type of compressed air pellet rifle would be good for small game hunting? by Lora W

From the State of Texas game Regulations. You can use an airgun for some things, but if you are hunting other than the animals listed below, you can get into trouble. Your State may have similar regulations.

From the Texas Outdoor Manual:

Game animals and game birds may be hunted with any legal firearm, EXCEPT:

pellet guns and other air guns are NOT LEGAL.
fully automatic firearms are NOT LEGAL.
firearms equipped with silencers or sound-suppressing devices are NOT LEGAL.

EXCEPTION:
Nongame Animals (Non-Protected): Any lawful firearm, pellet gun, or other air gun is legal.

NONGAME ANIMALS (Includes, but is not limited to the following):
Armadillos*
Bobcats*
Coyotes*
Flying squirrels
Frogs
Ground squirrels
Mountain lions
Porcupines
Prairie dogs
Rabbits
Turtles

Yes, in Texas Mountain Lions are not considered game animals, nor are they protected. But I personally would not want to shoot one with an air gun….(grin)

Several of the quackenbush airguns would be up to the task. They have limited range, but would definitely be big enough for a coyote. They have been used on deer, pigs, and even a bison. How’s that for an airgun. I won’t bother with the link, I see someone else did that all ready.

Just tell him, "Dad, do you really want to let me grow up without having a gun war? What kind of father will you call yourself then? Honestly, dad, this is the 21st century. Anyone whose children have never waged gun wars is automatic fail."
