Sproulman,almost every pile of scat I see has deer hair in it.I don' think the coyote population has exploded around here in the last few years.There's always been alot for as long as I can remeber.They're just way too hard to get rid of.Back in the early nineties when there were alot of deer,I used to see just as many coyote tracks as deer tracks behind my mother's house.

No one brought the coyotes in.The coyotes are in every state and they've always been in Pa.That would mean every state brought them in.
