RE: Baiting Coyotes in PA
 

There is a lot of Yotes in Allegheny/Westmorland/Butler counties...

RE: Baiting Coyotes in PA
 

I've seen plenty in both counties. Last year I shot 2 in Allegheny county less than 10 miles from the city of Pittsburgh.

Next question is it illegal to shoot a fox or coon over a bait pile for a coyote? Are coyotes the only animal that you can bait in PA??

RE: Baiting Coyotes in PA
 

Only coyotes and you can't use a road killed deer as bait.

Do you have a link as to any limitations regarding baiting Coyotes ?

I checked the 2006/2007 PA Hunting Digest and it really doesn't mention any restrictions for baiting Coyotes while hunting.

For some really strange reason it does mention that bait used for trapping them cannot be visable form the air; not sure the reasoning behind that.

Idon't have a link but you need a permit to pick up a roadkill and I believe it has to be used for consumption.It's something along those lines.I just know you can't pick up a roadkill and use it as bait.

There isn't anything in the regs about having to consume a roadkilled Deer. As long as you get a permit number within 24hrs, the only limit on it's use is that you can't "give it whole or any edible part ofadeer killed on a highwayto another person".


Roadkilled Deer[/b]/Possessing Wildlife:
It is unlawful at any
[/align]time to possess live wildlife, except foxes for which a permit has been
[/align]issued, or animals killed on highways. Pennsylvania residents may
[/align]possess deer[/b] killed by a motor vehicle if they secure a permit number
[/align]from the Game Commission within 24 hours after taking the deer[/b];
[/align]call the appropriate region office. It is not legal to kill “put it out of its
[/align]misery” any injured wildlife; again, call the appropriate region of-
[/align]fice. It is unlawful to give the whole or edible part of a deer[/b] killed on
[/align]a highway to another person.

There was a discussion on another mssage board and two WCO's chimed in,saying it would be illegal.

RE: Baiting Coyotes in PA
 

Did they happen to chime in with a link that you could share with us ?
