    I don't know about Racoons, but any call made for coyotes should work. The trick will be getting them in close enough to get with a bow. You hunting out of a stand or a blind?

    Foxpro makes a great caller, I've got the spitfire and it'll certainly draw in the yotes and cats. As far as getting them close enough to seal the deal with a bow; a blind sounds good and you'll probably want a distress decoy like the foxpro blackjack or something similar to get their attention off you and bring them in bow range.

    Because if you're bow hunting with a gun, then you're not bow hunting. lol
