1st - FYI, coons are turkey and quail egg eating vermin that carry rabies (like skunks) and require mgmt control for healthy habitat. 2nd - we were in Texas hog hunting and the coons are particularly thick in this area. 3rd - If I'm deer hunting and a coon comes along, I whack it for better, healthier habitat. What's the difference whether you're bear hunting, deer hunting or hog hunting? Ya see a nasty, ya take it out, If I'm deer hunting and see a turkey and I have a tag, I shift gears as well. No difference. 4th - Take out all coons ya see, whether you're trapping, hunting with dogs, deer hunting with a gun or hog hunting with a bow. Be a steward and do the right thing. Whack em. 5th - I knew it would be controversial. Debate is healthy and how we learn.... so carry on.
