True enough the .22lr will do the job. I would suggest that you use a bigger gun, but if you that is a limit; ya gotta work with what ya got.
I have seen several yotes killed with a 10/22.
One head shot, 45 or so yards: dropped straight down dead.
One lung shot, 25 yards: dropped with a few kicks and dead.
One front shoulder shot, over 50 yards: The first shot dropped him, but he got up so the person gave it two more to the head and neck.
I would suggest the a high-velocity HP. With a head shot you only have to break the skull before you need expantion not penatration. With heart and lung shots assuming you dont have to go through any bone or real meat, you only have to break the hide and you want expantion as it enters the heart and lungs.
Just my .02 worth.
