can i shoot a raccoon on my property

[DeRyder]

Whether you can shoot a raccoon on your property depends on your local and state laws, which often have different rules for rural versus urban areas and require you to take non-lethal methods first. Permission varies by state, with some allowing unlicensed removal of damaging raccoons under local firearm ordinances and others requiring permits, so consult your specific regulations to confirm if and when shooting is allowed.
