I wouldn't disturb or mess up a bow stand to shoot a coyote.Even rifle hunting I wouldn't want the crack of the rifle to disturb the area I was hunting.

I will always shoot the coyote when I see them. Last year I got one between the eyes with my slug gun at 65 yards, he didnt go far !

RE: deer hunting, would you shoot a coyote

Absolutely with no hesitation............. As for those who think, that by shooting a yote, the blood and scent will mess up your area, your mistaken... Check out the pic below, this young lad took his first yote' just 45 minutes before taking this mid 140" 13 pointer. The buck traveled the same trail, where the coyote had laid dead... I'm not saying that the shot won't disrupt the area temporarily, the scent of the coyote won't. He had 4 other smaller calibur bucks in the area before he shot the one he did, and they too, walked past the coyote!
