Coyotes get shot on sight by pretty much every hunter I’ve ever met or hunted with.

Not me nor do any of the guys I hunt with. Unless an individual coyote is causing trouble around the house (killing the cats and chickens) I will not shoot them for no reason other than eating what I like to eat. I won't kill an animal simply because it's existence is an inconvenience to me. They are not native but they fill the large predator role that wolves once filled. Deer share the land with the coyotes and they are just as much a part of nature as them, conservation doesn't mean only caring about the animals that I like to eat. Also, there is evidence that shooting a few makes their litter size increase. the howling that they do is kind of a role call to see how many are in the area. No, they won't "destroy" good hunting. that is a crock of shite.
