All I know for sure is that buckshot is not legal.  I actually plan to call Harrisburg to get the full answer on BB shot

 You may not take furbearing animals with shotgun shot greater than #4 buckshot.
Doesn't matter what county you're in.
As far as hunting deer with Buckshot I have no idea how the rules are in 5c or 5d.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

 So what size is legal in that special reg area to hunt predators?

BB shot and smaller....Hornady bb would be ok...but theres not much more out there...maybe a heavy turkey shot inside 30 yards...I know my moss can kill turkeys out to 55 yards...but i dont think its going to penetrate a coyote fur at that range.

I good goose hunting load might work well on coyotes. I seen coyotes shot with #6 shot. But they better be close.
