What are the laws for shooting foxes in Pennsylvania?
I live in Pennsylvania and have about 3 acres of land and there's a big cornfield in my back yard and behind that are several trees. As you can imagine, there is a lot of wild life around us. Well, we have chickens and there are foxes and coyotes trying to get them every night and even some times in the day. They have recently eaten three of my chickens. Does Pennsylvania law say anything about shooting and killing these animals? Are we only allowed to kill them if they enter our property or can we chase and shoot them in the corn field? There is currently nothing planted in the cornfield. The farmer just recently tilled it up.
@Jan, thank you for your information. But is it wrong to kill them now since they are doing harm to my animals?
Our pen is 6' high and is barbed on the top and the bottom but they are still getting in. It used to be ok to lock them up as it is getting dark but since they are coming out in the day time, we can't do anything to stop them; and the stupid chickens are going over to the fox that's trying to get in trying to make friends with it..

Fox season is from the end of Oct through the end of Feb.
Coyote can be hunted anytime.
Sounds like you need a better pen for your chickens so you don't have to kill innocent animals that are just doing what they are natured to do.
