Any one shoot yotes while deer hunting

[apple]

Iv'e had the chance but not done it only in fear of messing up the hunt for the others.I'm only talking about the gun hunt in a smaller area (farm).some say the shot could spook up bedding down deer, which would get them moving and Iv'e also heard that if yotes are around, the deer won't be, so go ahead and shoot em. What do you do? Let them pass or takem?

While I have seen wolves while deer hunting, I have yet to see a Coyote.
And yes, one of the guys shot a wolf some years back.

 

[GSXRMyers]

yep shoot em when deer and turkey hunting.
If they are around nothing else is..

I'll shoot everyone I can. I'm happy with shooting a coyote. I'd had deer come out right after I shot it and act like nothing has happened. The deer around my area are pretty used to gun shots I think and if its not constinate shooting then I dont think it will hurt your chances...unless the deer is about to walk out of the bush and you fire, might scare them away.

If its first morning at day break I'll let them slide....Thats usually my best time for the big buck to walk my way.....

Most of the yotes that we shoot every year get it while we hunt deer. I have seen yotes and whitetails come out of the same bush, but don't think that a shot fired bothers the deer too much. They seldom know where the shot came from.

We push coyotes on foot and a lot of times we find deer and coyotes in the same small bush. Pushing deer in the archery season we pushed 5 deer and two coyotes running tight behind the deer. One coyote was shot with a arrow. I shoot coyotes every year with a bow ( don't care for rifle deer ) As for the noise from a shot, sometimes it may help and sometimes it my screw things up.

I've shot coyotes, and had deer come out on the same trail 10 mins later.

Kill'em all!

I killed one last muzzleloader season, with my savage 10 MLSS and a hornady xtp mag 300 grains


take a look
I shot it a little to high, but the coyote didn't noticed!

I killed one last year with a .22 rimfire
One of my hunting buddy killed one to, with his .270 win

yep, i used to not, but then i realized that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush so too speak. if i don't get a deer today, i almost always have tomorrow.

i don't think shots scare deer that much, i have shot and missed the buck in a herd before, and the deer would just look up and then go back to eating, until i hit the buck and he fell over, then pandamonium broke out.

I don't shoot yotes when I am waiting for deer.

as far as yotes and deer not being in the same area, I'd have to say that's mosly un-true, I've seen yotes and deer out in the same fields at the same time...mind you the deer get on edge over it...

No Wyle while huntin' Bambi.

shot 7 coyotes and all while i was hunting deer in the past 20 years, they say an average coyote will kill 4 deer a winter, i shoot them on sight, i have seen deer and coyotes in the same field. I have always took the coyote down

Thanks for the pic Simomsez. That yote was deader than dead! I think that the next time one crosses my path this fall during the hunt I'll do the deer a favour and drop it.I hope to get out in the next week or to with the cross bow and take one. Lots of them around the Durham region area.

I hunt on a small property, and have watched all kids of deer as shots have gone off near by, and the most reaction they give is to nod their head, then continue what it was they were doing.

 

[eastwind]

I've shot quite a few coyotes while deer hunting. doesn't seem to spook the deer any.

 

[todbartell]

I usually pass on the coyotes I come across while hunting deer, unless the situation just feels right

 

[senior]

BANG! then get out the wolf licence

 

[sebastien leroux]

I've only shot 3 yote's and all 3 we're during deer hunting.

 

[BC Bigbore]

I won't mess up a stalk just to blast a coyote, but if I come across one while checking out areas...BOOM
Here's what happened to two coyotes last November I came across while deer hunting...(the .270WSM was a little too much)

 

[long bow]

I shoot em on sight...the benifit's of culling yotes far outweighs shooting a deer. Moose is a little different, I think moose spook a little easier..so while sitting for moose..I will let a yote slide...not a wolf though. Again, culling the predator has far more benifit's. If I'm scouting or just driving around...the fur flies.
If you cant see the yotes there are still to many...and if you can see em..there are way to many...
