Does snow sometimes shut down coon movement? We still have LOTS of corn standing and the temp was 31 out. No wind at all.

I track them along a river bottom that I can access. Here fresh tracks and sign are always present. You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Sometimes in mid winter when a warm spell occurs; coon will come out to hunt as well. I cant remember who wrote the article but when coons are holed up during a cold spell like down in the teens. When you see the forcast for temps jumping up 10 15 or 20 degrees higher get yor traps out.

Plenty of mud here to look for tracks.
