So much ignorance on one thread..
.410 slug is more then enough to kill a yote. Try one before you speak nonsense.
Buckshot is probably a bad idea in a situation where a unleashed dog is involved, unless it shoots a really nice pattern, if that's true it'd be more then adequate.
Yotes, especially if there's a group, will target domestic dogs larger then toy breeds.
Personaly I'd have no issue sleeping at night knowing a yote that went after my dog was slowly dying because I had shot it with a .22, even gutshot. My pets are family.
I took my mom's dog for a walk one day this past fall, he's a 3ish year old shih tzu named Reilly. Reilly was roughly 60yards ahead of me when a young fox put the chase on him. The fox was about the same height, and i'm sure lighter then Reilly but that didn't stop it non. A wild animal is exactly that, wild. Reilly was shaking, but unharmed, and the fox was later killed.

As the story goes even the bears were nervous.
' I'd ' feel better if you carried something bigger than a .22? Rather not read any stories about chewed up gunnutz.
