I am going coyote hunting tomorrow but I am also needing to shoot my muzzleloader about 5-10 times. This is on a 100 acre farm split up into four fields. My "shooting range" happens to be where I plan to hunt. If I shot and then hunted a couple hours later do you think it would bother my hunt?

thanks.
Personally, yes I think it would doom your hunt.

No, not unless the Coyotes on your farm have been hunted hard. I have sit on my buddy cabin porch and shot all morning then walk a couple hundred yards and set up and call and have one come right in. Here is a perfect example. We had been shooting all morning and this one came in within 5 mins of calling Pup in Distress from my FoxPro. He came in less than 200 yards from were we had been shooting all morning

Not always. Some may hightail it while others stick out of sight waiting to come in later to see what may be left to eat as many know a shot = food.
I shoot a zillion of p-dogs & every place the coyotes will be out of range, but move in after the shooting stops to eat. Ive shot many a coyote waiting for them after a shoot.
