Really depends on whether he would like to remain friends with his neighbours or not. A wise course of action would be for him to talk with them and make sure they are cool with you taking care of this coyote problem.

If you have permission on the property you're shooting on and you're more than 200 meters from where you don't have permission then you're good. Otherwise you need permission from the neighbours.
Definitely good by the 200m rule, and the one neighbor was out blasting something with his .22 last weekend......can't see any issue with them not wanting the coyotes destroyed with extreme prejudice; but yes it's a valid point.
What was once an odd sighting far from the home has become 2 visits to his yard by at first a lone coyote a week ago and now just this morning two large ones had his dog sized up and likely about to be attacked. It's only a matter of time before something happens unfortunately.
In a small area like that, I'd be 100% sure of your backstop. 22lr are slow and they riccochet. If you've ever shot at anything off a frozen stubble field you'll know just how far that little piece of lead can skip. If it was me, I'd be planning a full camo coyote ambush with a bow!

Some counties have restrictions on discharging firearms. You might want to check it out.
