My farmer friend asked me today , any ideas on 3 dead coon in a week found in barn and yard , no wounds , not sickly looking according to him so I suppose he means not under weight ribs showing ,no mucus from nose and eyes .
just laying in the open dead come morning , he didn't see any of the 3 die or while alive just came out to dead ones in the morning 3 days this last week.
my thoughts were Parvo or Distemper they could be fat enough this time of year that they could die before they looked "sickly".
what are your thoughts?
what to look for ?

Poison. By now distemper has usually already killed what it's going to kill. Fly bait will likely show blue coloration of stomach contents.

it is him and his family , next farm is 1/2 mile or more in any direction , it would have to be a slow acting poison to let them travel 1/2 mile then expire. fry bait is typically less than a 100 feet of travel from the ones I have seen.
anti freeze maybe? that takes many hours and Urine fluoresces under a black light.

I don't know where they were found but a good country prank when i was a kid was to "badger" folks which started as dead badgers in their yard or on their porch and then just randomly putting deads in their yard. The kids that were doing it at the time thought it was pretty funny anyways until they got caught.

I highly doubt the girls would do anything with poison , I was thinking maybe a tractor leaking coolant if it is anything on their farm causing it . I already asked if his old man would have used any poison but his dad is 80 and getting more and more hands off on the farm every day.

Found that years back Coons all over dead distemper was my guess catch was way off everything from bones to dried up hides and fresher ones.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I checked with him no poison that he or any of his put out.
they try and avoid any poison , pesticide or herbicide at all as they are all organic , so they can get a premium for their meat.

My first thought too was "Fly Bait" but now ....distemper.
