Primarily, to announce their territory and determine if other coyotes' control territory near their own (e.g. a coyote will howl and then listen for other coyotes to howl back -- if he hears another coyote to the West, than he knows that the land to the West is patrolled and "owned' by a different coyote, and he will respect that coyote's boundaries). They also howl to call their family members back after they split up to hunt. for more info about it go to wikianswers.com/why do coyotes howl :) ;)

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.
