Alot would depend on how close the grass was to the coyote. It is a little tough to tell 3D form the picture but if the grass is closer to the coyote even a little deflection wouldn't matter. If the grass is right in front of the shooter the slightest deflection could cause a clean miss. Me, I'd put the crosshairs on the shoulder with any of my varmint guns (.220 Swift, 22-250, .222 or .223) and let her rip.
