Guest malikai Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I was in the stand yesterday deer watching, and I saw seven coons walking around on the forest floor and the tree tops. On the ground there was a mom and two kits, who looked old enough to survive on their own. I wanna shoot some coons, would it be OK for me to shoot the mom? Or should I just finish the whole family off? Thanks for the help guys, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malikai Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Unfortunately it isnt season yet, but I will kill as many as I can, I sure as heck love turkeys more than nasty coons. I'll take that deal any day. Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 If they are not in season, why would you want to shoot them?? That's called poaching. Be a responsible hunter and enjoy watching them in the off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malikai Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Buckee I wouldn't THINK of shooting one out of season. I like to think of myself as a responsible hunter, and I really do love to watch the coons. When i wrote this thread I was mistaken on coon season in wisconsin, so I neglected to put that in there, my fault. Sorry about that. But once coon season in october comes around those coons 'r mine. -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad6639 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I shot one last novemeber with a bow, never again. I ended up shooting it 4 times and that was just so I could get the rest of my arrows back. They are tough as nails, I shot him twice with judo points, one of them in the head, and twice with broadheads and wont ever be trying this again with a bow. The arrows get wrapped up in their fur and they just walk off with them. If you hunt them, use a .22 or something similar and go after them at night. If you want a real challange, try calling them in with a predater call, thats a ton of fun and will keep you sharp in the off season.
