i got a question, i know its legal to spotlight racoons as long as there is no deer or elk modern firearm season open in the area, but has anyone tried spotlighting racoons without a dog to tree the coon? i killed a couple coons last week and it was pretty fun :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: , but now i'm wondering if there is a technique that people use to have better sucess in getting coons, :dunno: calling maybe? :dunno: i wasn't targeting coons when i shot the two last week, i just saw glowing eyes when i was heading toward my car after coyote hunting, so i aimed between the eyes and shot, i didn't realise they were racoons untill iwent to pick them up...lol (i'm joking) i knew they were racoon before i shot :) just :stirthepot: lolsure Shane! I can't believe you just seen eyes and then shot what if it was a deer... or maybe me out looking for a partner? :stirthepot:

OK OK I have not tried hunting them for years but when I was in highschool we used to go out to finley down by the river around all the russian olive trees there are trailes that run all over and we would spread cat/dog food and come back inthe night and we would get a couple sometimes ever a pooky fella too. :twocents: the area I'm talking of is pretty popular if you don't know it let me know.Good luck

just wondering, havent been there in a while but heard they fenced a small area for walk in hunting & closed the rest since a kid got woonded out there.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SHOOTING AREA PAST HOVER PARK, THEY CLOSED DOWN THE SHOOTING RANGE, BUT ACCESS IS STILL ALLOWED FOR HUNTING.
