Hey-

I may be really dense, but can any of you help me make some sense of the CA regulations on hunting coon. I'm pretty sure the kill season is over right?, but is it legal to pursue them, until deer season? Did I read that incorrectly? Also, anybody on the North Coast willing to let a guy tryin' to get into this sport tag along? Any info would be appreciated.

It should be pretty easy to find the Small Game regulations for CA online. I'd just google it.

I know is some areas, mostly SoCal the seasons is a little different, but Coon season here is not closed until March 31. Bobcat season is closed the end of the month, maybe thats what you were confusing it with.

Once season is closed you can persue them all you want until opening of Deer season (Archery season) at that time no dogs in the woods at all for nothing. Sucks, cause they can ticket you for roading dogs off a leash. So the 2-3 weeks before bear season, the time they need excersize most, you can't have them out. So you spend the first week or two of season just getting them in shape.

Thanks for the input Cassandra. I guess I just didn't know where to look in the regs. Is it me, or does it seem that DFG makes the regulations on hunting with dogs as complicated as they possibly can? My next challenge is to figure out some public land that I can catch some coons on here in Humboldt. Got in any ideas? I guess I could go talk to some farmers, but it's kind of daunting figuring out where to start.

Yeah they make the Regs for coon hunting hard to find.

We've had the same problem finding spots to hunt. That you don't have to wait in line behind 6 other rigs to go hunt. Seems like there aren't many coons movin right now, or they have been hunted that hard. We were doing good Dec-Jan, then around Feb once Duck season closed we see lots of other people and no coon.

I would try this link.
