coons

usaaly a real moonlight coons still move but a lot of people say they cant tree coons but i always kept tight mouthed hounds never had any trouble treeing coons as far as the winter mons when you are having real cold temps and it comes a good warm up everything moves thats when you should do really do good jmo

I usually try and pay attention to other animals like squirrels, birds, and crows. If they are out and moving during the day coons will be moving at night. A real good sign also is after a bad cold front or snowstorm is the first evening you start seeing deer and turkey moving out into open fields of the evening. If I see that around here in winter I know coons will be moving good.

Makes sense since a drop in the barometer signals a change in weather and animals usually try to get their bellies full before the weather turns bad or if it is turning for the better then they are probably hungry.

Really? I think just the opposite, seems likes it's tough to tree a coon when I'm seeing bunches of possums. Usually see the grinners if it's foggy or just quit raining.

It seems like sometimes the dogs will tell me if it'll be a good night. If they are exceptionally restless in the kennel right at dark, I usually do pretty well.

Seems like coons run later on the bright moon nights, but they still move and can be treed.

I watch the weather. Change from good to bad, several days of bad then turning to good. But with that said, had some god hunts when it was ttally oppisite of that. When I am driving to the woods I like to see lots of deer, grinners, skunks, rabbits, etc. I have heard old timers say, never when the wind is out of the east. Who knows. As John Wick says in his books, a bad night hunting still beats setting home watching TV. Drop that tailgate. Them dogs will tell ya.

I agree you don't know intill you go but I have heard of different people say different things about how to patern coons I always just go and see what happens I seas just wonting to hear what some of you thought thanks for all replys

I always hunt by the moon rise and setting. Of course I also hunt when it gets dark. I have found that a lot of coons will move here around nine oclock if there is no significant feed time during the night.

I have found that when I see a lot of possums there wont be many coon moving. But a good dog will find one somehow somewhere.
