Most field edges I trap aren’t close to standing/flowing water. If it’s dry, there isn’t water pooled in these fields. How do coon stay hydrated in corn fields? While eating acorns? Or do they even need to. Jonesie! Give us your thoughts!!

From all ive read they get a drink as soon as they leave there den and another before they get back.

Mud pudles, seriouslly, next time you see a mud puddle in a corn feild look for tracks. I garrentee if coon are around they'll be tracks.

They get water from seaps and spring like anything else. There's always something

And they remember where every one of those are.

Its been so wet there have to be wet spots all over the place. But in August, it’s usually blisteringly hot and I’ve always wondered.

I have seen coon licking the dew. They may also get some from the foods they are eating. They will also eat snow when every thing is froze. They do not need as much as we think. I have seen coon in attics for 2 to 3 weeks never leave the attic in the winter and there is no water up there.
