You will learn more about your dog hunting on snow than at any other time. It's a great time to find out your dogs tracking style. Tracking on snow can vary as much as dry ground depending on whether it's wet, dry, crusty, etc.

If you get a lot of snow, coons will typically hole up that first night. Other than that, Bandithunter is right.

No problem here also. Just look for water and cut them.

Just be carefull around creaks and ponds that start to freeze over. Coon can cross, dogs MAYBE NOT. Trust me you dont want to watch a hound drown, knowing you cant help em.... or get there in time.................Jon

25 years ago I watched the best water dog I ever had bust his way across a fifty yard slough that the coon just ran across on the ice. I never worried about that dog around water too much, but there are places I won't hunt right now till the ice gets a little thicker just for that reason.

If it's been terrible cold for a few days I like to hunt by cattle lots. The cattle water usually stay thawed.

When it is snowing in my opinion is best time to hunt when the snow is on still do pretty good seems like but if snow has been on a while and froze up pretty good all crunchy gets pretty rough hard to get on a track and get it moving in most cases

I took the old dog out last night. At my house the ground is still mostly grass. Where I hunt was under 2-3" of crunchy snow.

Long story, short, not even one bark, and this was the same area I shot 3 the night before.

if the snow freezes on the limbs of the trees, the ground den coon are the only to stir. once the snow melts off the trees the hunting is great unless the snow is to soft and deep. then you have to waite for a warm up so the snow will pack enuff for the coon to stay on top.. just my 2 cents worth.
