Rut

Coons are not in rut yet where did you get that idea? Coons don't come into rut till Jan/Feb. Just cause they are moving good doesn't indicate a rut.

Noooo, i live up in Fort Wayne IN and they arent in rut yet.... ill bet you that....

If they were breeding now the kits wouldn't survive the long cold spring. Please tell me how you know they are in rut just curious?
Raccoons usually mate in a period triggered by increasing daylight between late January and mid-March.[92] However, there are large regional differences which are not completely explicable by solar conditions. For example, while raccoons in southern states typically mate later than average, the mating season in Manitoba also peaks later than usual in March and extends until June.[93] During the mating season, males roam their home ranges in search of females in an attempt to court them during the three-to four-day-long period when conception is possible. These encounters will often occur at central meeting places.[94] Copulation, including foreplay, can last over an hour and is repeated over several nights.[95] It is assumed that the weaker members of a male social group also get the opportunity to mate since the stronger ones cannot mate with all available females.[96] In a study in southern Texas during the mating seasons from 1990 to 1992, about one third of all females mated with more than one male.[97] If a female does not become pregnant or if she loses her kits early, she will sometimes become fertile again 80 to 140 days later.[98]

rut

This is not Maniac's 1st rodeo.

Couldn't help myself, Just have to comment to this post!

With all due respect to everyone, COON ARE DEFINITELY IN RUT IN INDIANA. And have been for some time.

Jay Hyde/Maniac has been at this several years. If he tells you the coon are in rut, you can take that to the bank! He spends alot of time in the woods.

I have a good friend in Louisiana, and he tells me that their coon are starting to rut.

And yes, in my opinion, the rut does vary from state to state.

Watch your hound. He'll tell you what the coon are doing.

Maybe its the pre-rut and like deer the males are out looking and chasing but the female haven't come in yet. Happens with deer, why not coon??

I'm starting to notice the boars are "roaming".....

A tell tale sign here in Northern Indiana is when you run a track from one patch woods to another.

I'm not sure the females are "ready"...but the boars are certainly getting interested. I've not spent as much time in the woods lately as Jay probably has...but I'm noticing some signs of rutting activity.

Ran a track the other night where a young dog kept "tapping" trees and moving on. Marked those trees with the Garmin and went to see if she was leaving coon setting up. Every tree I marked where she tapped...was a den tree. She ended the track on a tree with a coon in it....a boar that was "all swollen up"......

You tell me what that was?

Doug,

I've seen lots of kittens born in late February in this area. That would put them as being conceived late december and early January!

Trust me, I've been hunting in Northern Indiana for over 25 years, and the Rut here starts at the end of December and is in FULL SWING by mid January....

Dont know about Indiana but if our coon mated now the Kits wouldnt survive.

Swollen Boars

We live 50 miles south of Ft Wayne and the last 2 boar coon we killed were very swollen. Dont know if the females are ready yet but those 2 were.

The only thing I havent seen alot of yet which you usually do is coon hit on the road. Usually when you start seeing coon hit on the road regularly and is usually around the end of December till the first of February that is when they are in rut.

I know last spring there were alot of different size kittens. You might see 2 or 3 litters crossing the road and the kittens were real small and then you might see 1 or 2 litters that were alot bigger.

So I really dont know but I think some of the boars are diffenantly getting good and ready !!!

Them boars will swellup a month before breeding starts. It's just foreplay.

Posted by Maniac on 12-16-2009 03:13 PM:

i have been killing some females the past couple weeks that has been swellup to.

Posted by Maniac on 12-16-2009 03:24 PM:

JOE I HAD THREE LONG RACES THE OTHER NITE THAT WENT 3/4 MILE. START IN THE WOODS WENT DOWN FENCE LINE TAP TREE GO ON AND AT THE END THEIR WAS A NICE BIG BOAR UP THE TREE. TWO OF THEM WENT AROUND 20 POUNDS & ONE WENT ABOUT 25 TO 28. ALL THREE WAS SWELLED. I TREEED 4 FEMALE ALSO THE OTHER NITE THAT WAS SWELL UP

Posted by JustinH23 on 12-17-2009 02:21 AM:

I live around Greencastle Indiana, and the coon have been swelled up this week. Ran a couple long races that the dogs marked three or four trees along the way. If they aren't in, they aren't far from it.
