Where you been finding them?
Mulehunter,

Interested in coming to the islands?  Lots of coons and I think I might be able to talk a few of my neighbors into allowing access.  Easy running and mostly flat.  Are you selling the hides?    Eating them?

And

Lokidog,  I dont shoot all coons and I dont eat Coon..  I shot one first week Sept and Released Most of them. Why because I wanna to go hunting more Often where Coons are hanging out in Wood,  I am pretty much FULL TIME with my family  and Horses and two good frineds lives in Idaho that I been hunt with and We personal got Idaho Non-Residnece hounds Permits on my Wife and I have been going there and back a lot. Thanks for asking.
Right now I have to stop hunting due to Rifle season Open soon. Maybe get back to hunt sometime in Nov or so. We will see...

Maybe Next year if I dont draw anything on either two states. I could get together..

looks like a blast. Always wanted to try coon hunting.

Owner contact us to come track down Coons,  8 chickens got killed by Raccoons Family with in three half weeks. Spend few times to shoot some but only Treed one and Lost another  :bash:   Lost Mother Coon and two babies Raccoons. Hopefully we could help to stop Raccoon from killing any Chickens.

you can always call coons, find there den area, set out a fighting raccoons fight sounds on you call and they will come in and want in on some action, does not have to be at night.  wind/camo/ predator hunting rules apply but decoys will help( may get mauled though) and be careful not to shot your call

I wish I could make a Call. It would be so Hard for me when I am deaf. I couldnt tell if I am doing right or wrong. I could buy Foxpro. it would be a little tougher when I cant HEAR when those Animals making noise walking thur brush rustting coming CLOSE to me.  :yike:   I would not be able to success myself.   But I am just helping a family who lost some Chickens and we caught pretty most of it with my dogs.

Maybe next year, I will try learn how to do all Callers somehow.

I have tried cold calling for raccoons in area where I have seen sign but no luck so far.  If you find their den tree you will probably have much more luck.

I grew up running coons...love it!!  I wish there were a bunch more up here!  Here's a picture of Tana with her first coon.  She's been on a few more since then.  Whisper treed one the other morning above my chicken coop... >:(
