Bigcat, the best way to call coons is to buy the tape " Coon Puppies" or " Coon Puppies II" by Johnny Stewart (I think). Grab your flashlight, tape player, and a 22 pistol, head to a spot where you think there are coon, turn the tape on, and get ready. Sometimes they come running other times they just look at you so a scoped 22Mag might come in handy also. You can also use a " Critter Call" mouth call but they are pretty tough to get the hang of. I have had coons come up and reach around the flashlight to see what is behind it. I have also spent the whole night out calling and came up empty so get discouraged and keep trying. One time I had three coon go under the pickup trying to hide from me so I had to crawl out of the ditch and chase them out to get a shot. It is really a blast, I think I' ll go out tonight and see if I can' t call in a few. Hope this helps and good luck. Let us know if you decide to give it a try.
