We have deer everywhere here, and turkeys. There are occasionally bear issues in residential areas, but not often. Coyotes? Growing problem for years.

As a child in the 70’s very much away from the city, we never saw turkeys or coyotes (deer all the time and plenty of snakes), but no coyotes. Ever. Now, we see both in the suburbs and even within city limits, if barely. A couple of years ago I counted 17 wild turkeys in a field at my mother’s house. She had a fig tree that they took quite a liking to.

"We have deer everywhere here, and turkeys."

Some years we see huge flocks of turkeys, this past year not so much.
PA Game Commission says there were 400,000 turkeys statewide just a few years ago but populations declined somewhat more recently.

To my knowledge, no turkey, bob cat or mountain lion has ever killed a Pennsylvanian, unlike */@#&! deer.
