It’s Closer Than You Think! 
Coyote Hunting Page
The eastern coyote has stirred as much interest and emotion as any other animal in Pennsylvania. Seeing a coyote or hearing the howl of this wild, wily animal is a great reward of nature to many people. Others fear this animal just knowing it is in the wild. Some sportsmen hate coyotes because they think the predators kill too many game animals. Trappers and hunters find coyotes to be especially challenging. Some farmers lose livestock due to coyote predation. The coyote has been referred to as the brush wolf, prairie wolf, coy-dog and eastern coyote.

Tampons are great scent wicks. Tampons are sent free and sterile and come in their own sent free package, they also have their own string to hang them up in a tree, or use to drag behind for a sent line. 

After shooting a deer, approach it carefully and watch its eyes. If they are open and glassy, the animal is probably dead. However, watch out if the eyes are closed, because the deer may be only wounded or stunned.
