However, if you are in an area where the use of firearms is prohibited, raccoons may not be captured or killed without a permit.

When you break that down into easy terms I believe it says that raccoons can be hunted in British Columbia. BC Site

Here is a link to many many other sites which claim it is legal: [URL=http://aolsearch.aol.com/aol/search?invocationType=bottomsearchbox.%2Faol%2Fjsp %2Fsearch.jsp&query=Raccoon+hunting+in+British+Col umbiaClick Here[/URL]







Ahh....ok....I get it now.
Thanks! My dad told me that it was illegal to hunt racoons, possums, skunks, and other small critters...Guess he was wrong haha. Well, i'm not going to correct him, or the racoons in his back yard are goners!
