It's no point arguing with you about coyotes but Iguarantee that they were in Clinton county way longer than 8 years.They've been in Clearfield county for as long as I've lived hear in large numbers and they've been in Wyoing county for several decades.The firstdead coyote I ever saw was on the first day of doe season in 1980.

Deer numbers are down in Cameron county but the habitat is terrible up there for the most part.I hunt an area in southern Cameron county right where rt 120 and rt872 meet.It's a long steep hike to get where it was timbered in 2001 but there's plentyof deer up there right now.That won't last long though because the deer concentrate there because the habitat is poor for miles around.Last year I saw about 25 deer by 10:00am on the last day of the season.

I got news for you.If an area was clearcut 20 years ago and the deer never returned,it wasn't because they were all shot off.Most likely that clearcut was a failure and only non-preferred species regenerated.You say these areas are like a jungle but they were cut over 20 years ago.How long do you think it takes for the regeneration to grow out og the reach of the deer.If you're looking at a 20 year old clearcut,you're most likely looking at pole timber which will support very few deer.That's exactly what will happen if the cut much more than the mandated 1% a year.Youhave a habitat problem in the Sproul and that's no secret.
