Cascade,

In my personal experience, you hear some barking, then a pack of dogs comes running like hell thru that specific spot and are out of earshot in a few minutes. Any shooting occurs along a point in the road where the hunters cut off the coyote. Others don't even use guns. They let the regular hounds tire the coyote out somewhat, then when it goes across a very large clear area, they will turn lose greyhounds to quickly run it down and drop it until the other dogs get there to finish it off. In both scenarios, the hunters have some choice in terms of exactly where the coyote will be killed. But, obviously they can't control where the dogs run while chasing the coyote and therein lies the problem.

The only firsthand knowledge that i have of coyote dogs influencing a deer hunt was when my friend had about two dozen deer flushed right toward his stand by coyote dogs. I don't doubt that occasionally coyote hunters might ruin a deer hunt, but I also think that some deer hunters (my father for example) will use any dog barking within a mile of their stand as an excuse for not bagging a deer that day.
