Hevi Shot makes a Dead Coyote load with T shot, and Hornady has a BB coyote load. Even with the larger hybrid coyotes #4 buck seems like it would be enough. If the range far enough for #4 buck to under penetrate the #00 pattern will be too sparse.
I searched coyote shot size and quickly found supporting opinions.

https://www.rokslide.com/forums/thre...ot-size.81929/While you can get by with smaller shot if your target is at closer ranges, I consider No. BB (.18 cal.) the minimum size. Larger shot sizes such as BBB (.19 cal.), T (.20 cal.) and No. 4 Buck (.24 cal.) are much more efficient at bringing down the coyotes. Larger pellets such as 3 Buck and 1 Buck deliver more energy, but the lower pellet counts may not be dense enough to consistently place a sufficient number of pellets into the coyote’s boiler (see chart below).
