« on: December 20, 2006, 11:23:08 AM »
Anybody have any experience calling raccoons?  Ive heard it can be done but have never done it myself. any info would be appreciated.By the way, Im in missouri so I have to call during the day.( the only time you can use a spotlight is coon hunting with dogs.)

I've never done it but I understand they will come to the sound of a coon fight.  I have had them come in at night to a rabbit distress but only infrequently.

Coons are very easy to call at night, but they're a little hard in the daytime unless you set up very close to a den. I hunt'em at night by starting with a high pitched bird sound, then switching over to a coon fight after about 5-10 minutes.
