All I know for sure is that buckshot is not legal.  I actually plan to call Harrisburg to get the full answer on BB shot

 You may not take furbearing animals with shotgun shot greater than #4 buckshot.
Doesn't matter what county you're in.
As far as hunting deer with Buckshot I have no idea how the rules are in 5c or 5d.

BB shot and smaller....Hornady bb would be ok...but theres not much more out there...maybe a heavy turkey shot inside 30 yards...I know my moss can kill turkeys out to 55 yards...but i dont think its going to penetrate a coyote fur at that range.

I good goose hunting load might work well on coyotes. I seen coyotes shot with #6 shot. But they better be close.
