Floresent orange hat for hogs
Fox season is not in yet
as for coyotes, if you see one, pocket your hat as long as you're safe and no one else is hog hunting in the area

Not being smart but you may want to read your hunting digest that comes with your license.  It does a pretty decent job explaining the rules, regulations, seasons and bag limits.

Questions are fine!  I just realized a lot of the stuff you are asking is in the book.  You can actually view it online also.   http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/document/1073864/2011-2012_hunting_trapping_digest_pdf.
