If it's cold, maybe around the ponds isn't a food source for them anymore. Find the food source and you will find the coons, maybe corn fields or acorns close. We have been having a good season with the hounds and traps.

I don't know about Ohio, but sometimes distemper can ruin a year around here if wehad a dry summer.

Buckeye,

I trap along the Great Miami river north of Dayton. The coon numbers are really down this year and some folks are blaming it on the dry weather. I had traps out for five nights and caught one coon. I have heard similar reports from other folks around here.

Whatever it is, things aren't nearly as bad in Illinois. I'm running some traps here while visiting for the holiday. I've got about a dozen sets out and caught two coons and a mink yesterday, then six coons this morning/
