Yes, heard of hunting coons at night, but in Maine we can only hunt them with a .22LR pistol and a three-cell flashlight. The .22 WMR in a rifle with scope and flashlight are known as the favorite "Poacher's Rifle". Sorry if you thought I was commenting on your situation.I’m going to assume the comment was in jest and not an insult. Have you ever heard of hunting raccoons at night, especially raccoons that get in to your trash?
