Why Kittanning Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does
Kittanning sits on the east bank of the Allegheny River, county seat of Armstrong County and home to roughly 64,000 residents spread along the river valley and the rolling farmland above it. This was glass and coal country — Ford City took its name from the plate-glass works — and the river towns hold dense older housing built into the valley walls, while Crooked Creek Lake and the Armstrong Trail corridor cover the interior. The Allegheny itself is a working wildlife corridor: beaver, muskrat, and waterfowl calls arrive from riverfront properties year-round, and the wooded bluffs push deer into the river towns. Deer-vehicle collisions concentrate on US-422, PA-28, and PA-66.
Common species calls in greater Kittanning: Most-called species across Armstrong County: deer (river bluffs and farmland edges onto US-422 and PA-28, peak Oct-Dec rut), raccoon (Kittanning and Ford City's industrial-era housing; primary PA rabies vector), beaver and muskrat (Allegheny River frontage), groundhog, skunk, opossum, and coyote.
Pickup jurisdiction in Kittanning: Armstrong County does not operate a county health department — only seven Pennsylvania counties do. It is served by the Armstrong County State Health Center under the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Borough and township public works handle right-of-way carcasses; PennDOT covers US-422, PA-28, and PA-66. Crooked Creek Lake is a US Army Corps of Engineers project with its own procedures. Private property is the owner's responsibility. Roadway deer and bear fall to the Pennsylvania Game Commission Southwest Region office (4820 Route 711, Bolivar — 724-238-9523).
