Where to hunt Racoon Dog
Racoon Dog is a small predator that resembles in appearance the American Racoon, although the species are completely unrelated. Racoon Dog originated in the woods of the Asian Pacific, inhabiting parts of Russia, Korea, Japan, and China. The Soviets introduced it across the USSR; the animals caught on and are now found in many European countries such as Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia. All European countries that have Racoon Dogs today list them as game animals or invasive species.

Bear in mind that in the northern parts of its range Racoon Dogs may hibernate, which limits hunting opportunities for them.
Why hunt Racoon Dog?
Introduction of the Racoon Dog to Europe was one of the most ill-advised decisions of the Communist government. They hoped to “enrich the fauna” with another furbearer. The newcomer, however, didn’t add much to fur harvest, but instead levies a heavy toll on ground-nesting birds, including but not limited to Black Grouse and Capercaillie. Some countries, like Sweden, launch a dedicated program to get rid of Racoon Dogs. But, as it often happens, it’s easier said than done, and Racoon Dog hunting may be an exciting and challenging pursuit that helps the endemic fauna, too.
