Anyone ever raccoon hunted????

Killed droves of them trying to get in my chicken coop... along with opossums. Only ever used a .22 PCP air gun or .22 LR to not bother my neighbors at night. Never cared to try to eat one and wouldn’t go after them at all if they didn’t come around so often. If I’m walking out at night occasionally I’ll see them treed from their eyes reflecting. I don’t know the legality of fire hunting raccoons at night so I wouldn’t advocate it w/o verifying it’s ok. My mom traps plenty in live traps on her property back in central FL. Not very sporting but it’s certainly easy. She says they get into her garden but I’ve never seen her garden all that messed with. Seems like if there’s a food source bordering a wooded area, they’ll just come to you.
