I think if you shoot a yote, you are for sure adding more scent, and some deer can be very iffy if they smell a yopte in some places
here where I hunt(in PA) I have lots of yotes and lots of deer, have seen them eating in same fields and ignoring each other50 yrds apart too or less
me I don't shoot yotes till there is a contest, and then its for possible winnings only
I need there help to keep my deer numbers in check, and I like to watch them in action
so no I don't take pop shots at them now a days, yrs back I did, or in places I was asked to
even killed a deer right after killing one once, but think that's NOT the norm
