Shooting 'coons in NC?
Hello all, long time no see.
I will be heading up to NC tomorrow to do some raccoon control, and just wanted to know if anyone in the area knew much about the laws I may or may not be infringing upon. Are raccoons considered to be pest animals, and can be hunted any time of the year? Anyone have any information on discharging a firearm in Browns Summit, NC (zip 27214)?
If this clears your approval, I am looking forward to turning some 'coons into swiss cheese with my new 22lr drop-in bolt for the good ole m4!

The raccoon IS considered a game animal and you will need to purchase an "out of state" hunting license to hunt them. Hunting can be done outside of the city limits , but make sure you have the land owners permission. As with any good coon hunting excursion, a coon dog is well worth the trouble to help you find and tree the coons.

You should ask a conservation officer about hunting these beasts. I'm pretty sure you'll at least need a small game license.
