Pennsylvania Game Commission wildlife officials are gaining new information about wildlife movements from a State University of New York (SUNY) College of Environmental Science and Forestry research project, as an eastern coyote was caught in a Commonwealth trapper’s cable restraint in East Stroudsburg.

A fews years ago a guy I know caught a tagged coyote a few miles from my house. This dog had been tagged in Eastern Kentucky, and I'm not talking about a border county. It was from a place a few counties in. It made big news in the local papers.
