Have an area I have always caught nice big coons in, six days this year and nothing not even a small one.

Are you seeing many road kills?

Distemper?

Voted wrong party, never to be seen again

That was wrong I am sorry.

But true

Coons are way down here getting 80-100 most years now looking at getting 20 in some of the best habitat places around.

Large area of Distemper late Nov. around these parts. Maybe the same in your area?

You finding carcasses I’m thinking we got hit in the spring nothing found on the line here.

Come take some of mine. They’re never ending here, like rats.
However, the last week or so has been pretty quiet as far as coon. The cold nights have kept them close to home it seems.

Agree with the above lots of yoy on the roads this year good sign going into Fall put out 2 dozen boxes with beaver for bait on 6 different watersheds 3 weeks later 2 sets of coon tracks 1 coyote track 1 mink track and 1 set of weasel tracks good snow and mild temps never seen the woods so barren in 50 plus years

I can’t speak for the rest of you but the DNR has been telling me that we have coon distemper in the area I trap. The coon we’ve taken have been huge and the numbers are down, I’ll suppose, because the yoy are dead. It’s not that I want young of the year, but there have been seasons where I whacked and stacked 2-3 times what I’m getting now. They’re just not available.

What I have caught have been 2x and 3x just not many, saw a lot of road kill early mostly small ones.
