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?

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.

My dad bought a "trained" blue tick when I was a kid in WI. He decided to get rid of it after the third time out with no coons and he had to lift it over a foot and a half tall fence that it refused to jump over..... A friend's dog did well so we had some fun chasing anywaysw.:( Yeah- it's hard to sell a good dog, I am generally skeptical of 'finished dogs' for sale...unless they're asking 5k... :yike:

That is the way I've always interpreted anyways, I use to have a coon dog. We've ran bear, cougar and coon.
Awesome pictures. I've wanted to get back into it really bad...need to find time. You should get involved in the Washington State Coonhunters Association.

You can hunt with dogs, you can hunt at night, you can even hunt september, october, and november, you just can't hunt a unit that is open to centerfire rifle. therefore, if your hunting with a .22 caliber...use a rimfire or a pellet gun.

You might want to read the regs again. I dont see where it make any exception for using rimfire rifle or any other weapon. It simply says that night hunting and hunting with hounds is not legal during modern firearms. Also pellet guns, sling shots, clubs, axes, knives, spears or any other implement of destruction are not legal to hunt game animals with.

But is a coon a game animal or a varmint?
Sorry they are considered a game animal and a fur bearer.

You could hunt animals like opossums, skunks, and porcupines with a pellet rifle but you still cant hunt them at night, during modern firearms, since the law says "any wildlife"

Its open to hunt as long as there isnt any modern rifle season open.
I hope your right but if that was all there was to it why would it even mention the months? It could just say "closed during modern firearms season" but it doesnt.

Because it only pertains to modern firearm deer and elk hunting during those months.
Post by: mulehunter on November 23, 2010, 06:07:51 PM
Are you sure its open? The regs say Sept, Oct and Nov in units that are open to center fire rifle deer and elk season. It is still Nov.
Yes u are right i have to watch where special permit rifle in some gmus and not all of them. I look in book gmu 454 doesn't have any mod rifle permit or general season loom like closed last sunday so i supposed be legal to go out. I haven't start and i want be sure i am good to go.

True. I can go some only few gmus. For example i look up page 49 on special permit. Nooksack unit. Open rifle nov 25 thur nov 30 i can't hunt there. So most of gmus look like closed for mod rifle season now. so i should go about 70 percent gmus in washington. Start yesterday until march 15. I am glad to be sure its safe to go. I don't want be in wood and not know what right and wrong. I rather be doing right thing.

Not exactly true Scott, once mid-night 1 Dec rolls around you don't have to worry about whether or not a GMU has an open modern season going on. 1 Dec your legal statewide for night hunting.

Looks that way, good luck! Like I said after 1 Dec rolls around you can stop worrying about whether a unit has any open modern seasons. Good luck and kill some big ones!!
Will do. I wouldn't be worry in gmu 454. I wont go another gmus just stick in 454 until 100 percent in washington after dec 1 since few arent finished on permits. I am heading out look for trax again. I wanna do somehing if i ever got huge coon. I wonder what best advice from ya to do with it.

No luck. So we wait 10 min and walk all around 60 ft to 150 ft from tree. I hope not in a hole up top where big split y branch. 30 min later she said forget it. Let's go... i said noo.... my dog tells me its right tree. finally we saw very tiny eye and it was like 120 ft high with full branches arounds My wife aim at coon. She said danm lousy flashlight. Can't see where... dang, finally got sec only eye and she aim under face. Try to shoot front neck cuz whole body is back inside. Only way we Could do any best so she pull trigger i was standing 20 ft back from huge tree and hold flashlight up where she can see with scope from 80 ft back from me. I all sudden see something coming down with all powder of snow start to fall all over down and i said whoaaaaa oh noo.... branches kept snapping snapping snapping fast fast it come down i quickly ran away as fast as i can and wrap my arm over head. I stop and all snow falling over us. I said no way what a huge thing up there. I afraid it was a opossum. :chuckle:
