RE: Anybody bowhunt Racoons
 

2 or 3 years ago. I was in a tree stand and caught movement. A racoon was coming down a tree 10 yards away. I thought about drilling it but I just watched it till it was out of sight. I thought it was a bit weird because the time was approx 10:30AM. I don't know the habits of coons but aren't they seen at dark mostly?

Ever since they did what they did to my sweet corn this year . . . IT's ON!!!!!

I won't be getting a single ear of my sweet corn this year. They took down every staclk and ate every kernel after all my hard work to get it just about ripe. I won't pass up any that give me ano opportunity this year.[:@]

I've never gone out for coons, but when the persimmon crop is good and I'm near some I might shoot one if nothing else is moving. I tan the hide so it's not wasted.

I have kept permission on 1 farm I hunt by shooting at least a few every year with my bow. The farmer has a crazy obsession with them. There does seem to be a lot of them on his place. I always think there are herds of deer coming out of the corn as the lights turn on but it is a bunch of fat raccoons wandering back to the trees after gorging all night.
