Seems like we went through that just the other day! I think a round
in the ground would be the best
idea, initially. I'd be worried about rabies also, with a wild
animal such as a coyote or fox.

Once you discharge a firearm in a restricted area you are potentially
subject to legal action, so you might as well make it a shot to center
of mass. There's less risk of a ricochet that way and you remove the
threat. If no one hears and reports the shot, your only problem is
disposing of the coyote.

You Fla guys don't know much about frozen ground, do ya?
Yeah... not much you could do quickly in a residential area up here in
the winter in regards to digging holes.
But again, if its in clear self defense, and you tell the LEO that shows
up that you were fearful for your life (which is all you should EVER say
if you ever shoot your gun outside of a gun range or hunting...), I
doubt it would lead to any citations.
In my area, there have been enough small pet kills by coyotes recently
that anyone who shot one in the city would be thanked.
