Title: What year and place did you see your first Pa coyote/
Post by: uncle buck on December 04, 2009, 11:16:31 PM

I saw this topic on another web site.  However the answer could prove interesting here to see just when coyotes started entering your area of the Commonwealth of Pa.

I saw my first Pa coyote in 1987.  I was hunting deer along Indiantown Gap in Dauphin county..

What about you?

I saw my first Pa. coyote in 2008 in Bucks county.  I happen to catch it on a trail cam.  Then I was able to shoot one on the neighboring farm.

Never saw a coyote until 1993 when I caught three while trapping.Have seen them almost every year since.

1990, 2 came down a gas line during deer season.
I see 1-3 a year hunting them, only seen 3 or 4 since then, as a casual encounter, driving down the road ect.

First Pa coyote I saw was back in either 1977 or 1978 use to help a fur buyer with his skinning and a guy brought it in. he trapped it near Woodland PA.  First one I ever seen in the wild was around 1987 while turkey hunting.

1993 on SGL 170 west of Marysville. Hunting fox with my youngest son Greg, we let it pass thinking it was a farm dog. To late we realized our mistake and never got him..
