Rut

From the web:

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]

Eric our rut usually starts around late Dec, sometimes mid January. Alot of years I have seen it come back in during late Febuary and into early March. I have seen kittens some years in June and other years june and late Aug too. So it varies but we should start getting after some rutting boars fairly soon.
