In doing research on coons I have come across a couple of research papers on coons, coon habitat, and coon populations.
They listed 4 factors den trees, water source near dens, edge habitat, and crops. Another factor that helps coons bounce back that I don't think gets enough credit is the mast crops such as acorns and nuts.

i remember growing up and living in central NC that we had fairly good coon population. But down here in the southwest corner of Georgia, coon are thin. The king pine had ruined lots of land and plantations want coon gone for the sake of quail. I can drive 1hr noth or 40 min east and find good coon numbers. Lots of the chemicals strayed on crops kill coon as well.

distemper
moved through our area of pa last summer,, was finding dead coon in a few places with seemingly nothing wrong with them.. chemicals maybe, but just 20 minutes west and we tree at least 1-2 every night on only 1 drop,, yotes arent so bad over there yet neither
quote:Originally posted by john Duemmer There are large areas in the south where the timber companys have cut down every tree that a coon might raise a litter in and planted pine trees in there place. No den trees= No coon.
COULD BE THE ARRIVAL OF THE LITTER OF IMPACT !!!!!!)))
sorry I couldnt resist .
