I have gone coyote hunting with just irons. The yotes failed to appreciate it and did not present themselves.

I have used irons for coyotes and deer. Both shots were inside of 80yards. Not hard shots. To me irons are fun to shoot and more accurate than a red dot.

I agree that irons are fun; I enjoy the challenge of irons and like to return to basics often. Predator hunting is a good venue for the challenge of applied iron-sight shooting.

I use a Vortex SPARC optic and 55gr polymer tips to keep hide in good shape.

A simple red dot is where its at, if its NV compatible its even better. NODS + red dot + IR light source (built in illuminator will do out to 50 yards or so) is a winning combination. I also use the IR to find my dog, most mammals eyes glow if you shine IR at them which helps out a lot if youre covering entire fields at night...
