Based on the forecast here, they might move tonight, but after that looks like they are going to shut down for a while. I have been seeing a lot of possum tracks the last few days. Coons in my area seem to have disappeared.

Here coon will move down to 10 above. The closer it is to ten the less of them are out. Seldom do I ever catch any when it is below 10. There does seem to be more movement without snow when it is down around 10. We have below 0 at night starting tomorrow night running through the 12th of Jan and most of it highs below 0.

I'd set em! Coons are carrying a heavy coat and a huge layer of fat this time of year. It would take an extended cold spell and snow to shut them down for awhile.

In our area the last 4 days would have been the days to have traps set for late season coons. Snow melted, low 40s in the day, mid 20s at night. However not uncommon here to find the boars, starting to mat up by this time and stink.

I’ve caught some of my biggest coons when it’s around 0.
