I understand coons carry a parasite that can be transmitted to humans. The only thing I shoot is squirrels that make a mess in my barn loft and in my house soffit ....russ
I think that parasite was a big problem maybe 30 years ago and just about ended all coon hunting that was very popular at the time (for reasons I never understood...feeding hounds all year and then running them while you tripped and stumbled in the dark woods???). I haven't heard much about it in years other than you should be careful with the droppings if they happen to leave any on your picnic table or deck.
