I was a paratrooper with the 101th Airborne and Stationary Human Silhouette Target at 200 and 300 meters was very easy to hit with open sights. You hit it, it goes down. The problem with this is , the hit could be on the very edge , center , high or center on the target , you just never had any idea where the hit was, it didn't matter as long as it was hit, but with live animala it does matter . Shooting at a animal the size of a yote that blends with the terrain is a whole different situation. Forget the red dot sight except for medium to close range and get yourself a good scope for your coyotes hunting. Most people in the Military think they can shoot but most can't shoot worth a crap in my experence.
