    Default coyotes in delco?

    I recently saw what looked like a coyote to me on my property in Delco. I spent some time out west and saw them out there, so I'm pretty sure this was one (too big and wrong color for a fox)... I haven't "heard" any like you do out west. I heard they're becoming a problem in PA....are they in this area and does anyone know if it's true that there's a bounty on them?

    They are in every county of PA, as well as in every eastern state as well. I haven't caught 1 yet, kinda disapointing that another year goes by, still no coyote, yet I religiously use alot of bigger traps and use double staking, in case of a coyote being caught. I think the trappers who trap just north of me are getting them all before they get down here LOL, plus the yotes are running around just outside my trapping zone, too far to go every day to check, or are on farms owned by antis. I haven't had anyone call and say "OMG there's coyotes at my farm right now, come trap them!". If they do, surely the call will be just after the season closes or something stupid. Or I will rush to said location and set and catch skunks and possums instead LOL.
    LOL, I am a woman...

    There's been coyote sitings in NJ so having them in PA doesn't surprise me. A few years ago they caught a coyote in a park in Brooklyn, NY.

    I was hunting coyote last night. With in five minutes of calling I had one come in on me. 3:00 am. Moved to a new spot 10 mi. away and called another in with in five minutes. Didn't get a good shot on either though. They are all over the place!

    My problem was my light wasn't bright enough. I went to walmart yesterday and got a spot light and put some red tint on it. I'll give it a try this week. I want to fine tune my skills for some tournaments this year!

    What do people hunt coyote for? Just fur, or what?

    Thanks!
