ONLY if he is threatening your family, or your animals..
If a coyote is in the backyard, he is a threat to any pets or small children in the neighborhood. But whether you can shoot him or if you have to call animal control will depend on where you live. In the rural setting where I grew up, we wouldn't have thought twice about it - coyote in yard = dead coyote. But now I am in an urban area and I had better not use a firearm unless someone is in IMMEDIATE danger - like the animal is gnawing on my lower extremities. Even shooting it while it was attacking my pet might be questionable.
Where I live coyote's are open season year round no perment needed. ( far east Tennessee ) there looked at as a Predator.
It depends on where you live. In Ohio, coyotes are a nuisance. We are allowed to kill them any time of the year, any weapon is allowed, and you do not need a license or a tag.

∙ 15y agoI'm sure it depends on where you live. But just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean it's wise. Owning wild animals--even those that are supposedly tame--is a risky business that I wouldn't suggest.

∙ 13y agoIf you live in a state where it's legal, you sure can. I play with one every week. Just make sure you do your research; they're not easy pets. They also should have an outdoor enclosure when not under supervision since they WILL destroy your house. But yes, they can make very endearing companion animals, and as long as you do your research, you can definitely own one depending on where you live. Learn about coyote behavior and their habits when in captivity. ALSO just because it may be legal in your state to own one, your county or city may ban them. Make sure you live in an area where it's legal, otherwise it will be seized by the state and euthenized.
