Shooting coyotes while deer hunting

[Evoac05]

So I have some private land to hunt for archery season and placed a few cams to see what the activity is like. It has a few deer on the property as well as a few coyotes. My question is, would deer stay away from an area if I shoot a coyote from my stand while deer hunting? Not sure if the blood or dead coyote would make the deer steer clear of the area. Any idea?

Shoot the yotes.  It won't deter the deer.

I never pass up a chance to kill a coyote.

  only thing coyote killing is gonna do to your deer spot is make it better.  Aggressive coyote activity is one of the largest factors in pushing deer from an area.

unless you are rifle hunting. Then you have to decide, Do I shoot the coyote and take the chance scaring off any deer that might be near by? Or let the coyote go until another day? I generally choose to let the dogs walk during deer season.

I kill them every chance I get.  Rifle or bow.  24/7/365.  Twice on Sunday's. 
The only caveat is if I am photographing instead of packing.

Shoot them year 'round..

My time deer hunting is usually very limited so I'm not going to take a chance and shoot a coyote during deer season. Unless I'm done hunting for the morning and headed back to the truck or something like that. But while sitting in a stand? No way.

Shoot it.

I was out with my Dad two years ago and he was hunting MF muleys when a fuzzy coyote walked out.  We were in a decent deer spot but I took Dad's .300 WSM and drove 165 grains through him from tip to tail.  Saved a few fawns maybe, also some gophers 

Last year on September 2nd, I was driving to a still hunting spot at first light when a big red mountain coyote ran across the road.  He never ran away as I pulled over, shut the rig off, put my release on, nocked an arrow, ranged him and drew back...at 67 yards it was a tough shot in the wind.  I held the 60 pin above his nose (wind) and touched off.  That was the sweetest shot I could ever be lucky enough to make.  Straight through the shoulders and double lung.  Sure I broke an arrow and delayed a deer hunt but I don't regret it 

The only time more satisfying to whack one is when it's winter and they are running my whitetail around.

With a bow? Id never pass them up. With a rifle? Only if I was in a stand. I read an article somewhere on whitetail that said they are really only concerned with noises in the imediate vicinity.  Stackem like cord wood!

Unless the deer I am after is in sight I'll dump the yote any time. Heck I've had bucks stand 300 yards from me when I shot a yote. They were focused on the yote and never seemed to realize I shot.

Generally!?!!!  More like always!  Drives me insane some of the dogs you let walk!

Sometimes, but never during prime time. In between, sure.

Thanks everyone for your input. Hopefully I'll take a few coyotes if the opportunity presents itself while I wait for a deer. Thanks again.
