I forgot to add:
If it were me, and being that you don't have a lot of rifle trigger time, I'd get a .223 and shoot the heck out of it. You're already doing that with the .22LR, but now it may be time to step up a notch.
The .223 can be used on coyotes, does very well as a poodle shooter, and ammo is plentiful. This will help you to get used to shooting. Another nice thing, minimal recoil. After the .223 I'd look at working my way up the ladder and going with a .308 Winchester. After that, then decide what larger caliber you want. You may decide you don't need a larger caliber, who knows? You will however have the expirience to help you make an informed decision.
