Default Spooking deer

What is your opinions on risking spooking deer by shooting at other game. We have alot of coyotes and hogs and they are most active during the Fall along with the deer activity. We need to control their numbers but my hunting partners don't like us to shoot alot in fear of spooking off the deer. However, if we don't take those opportunities when they present themselves, we seldom, if ever, harvest any of the non-game species. I have on multiple occassions seen coyotes chasing deer and get multiple pictures on my game camera. Of course we all know what hogs do to a place. Shoot or not to shoot, that is the question! Thanks.
