Absolutely not.

Last year my FIL laid a coyote down. 30 minutes later a 10 came out and damn near stood on top of the coyote, dropped his arse right on top of him.

Definitely don't beat yourself up for shooting a coyote.

I'm sitting here coughing and snotting my arse off and am not the least bit worried about it.

I watched the biggest deer of my life look right at me with a similar cold a few years ago.

I think they are more concerned with movement than anything- go back to being still.

I just had a doe try to come sit in my chair with me. I'm on the ground wearing what I've had on all day (blue jeans and a Long sleeve shirt) and swatting mosquitoes.

Stay in stand. I shot a fox last year, watched it flip them get up and run. I got down and tracked blood a few yards then lost the trail. Did a walk around through the woods never finding it. Was contemplating heading back to camp but didn't cause would need to pass by someone in thier stand. Sat in stand playing on the iPad. Shot a 10pt 20 min before dark

Don't. Whatever it is i'm hunting, if I see a coyote, it becomes a coyote hunt.

I've shot a bobcat and a deer in the same hunt. Same shite.

Put some of that Nates buck bait in the coyote. A big buck will eat the coyote

Stay your arse in the stand. In late October I went to Texas on a high fence hunt. The hogs would come to the feeders and run the deer off. I would shoot a hog and 30 minutes later the deer would return. I did this for 3 days.
