I have had the same dilemma. I plan on doing some calling on non deer hunt days.

So I'm basically limited to rimfire (I have a .22 mag) or shotgun, no problem right?
I figured I'll use the shotgun so I ordered some #2 Hevi shot thinking I'm good.
I was thinking the rules stated #2 shot or smaller.
Then I see that for "Other game", swurls and such its #4 shot or SMALLER, which
is ridiculous for yotes.
HOWEVER!!! , for WATERFOWL you can use up to #2 shot. So, as long as its Duck
season I can shoot the #2's for Yotes, but when Duck season is over I have to use a
22 mag or #4 shot for yotes.

WHO MAKES THIS SH@# UP ANYWAY????????

oH, I forgot, when Turkey season comes in I'm good with the #2 shot again.
WTH does it matter what load I shoot at a Coyote??????????

I'm getting a headache trying to stay legal.

And don't get me started about having to pick up a Dang Daily Permit!!!!!!!

And OTTERS, why is it illegal to SHOOT an Otter? They can only be trapped.
I can trap an Otter in a leghold trap and shoot it in the head with a .22 but I cant
shoot the same animal while hunting????

I'll be here all week.
