are trees the only places that coon live? i have found a couple holes that have tracks that look like coon in front of them. this may be a really dumb question but i wasnt sure.

Racoons prefer trees. BUT will use dens along creek/river banks!

what do beaver and muskrat tracks look like compared to coon?

alright so not too similar at all. thanks man!

coon will live in any type of den whether it is a tree, hole, building, old cars..anything that gets them out of the weather!!

EVERY TIME I LOOK FOR A PLACE TO SET A TRAP IS A HOLE IN THE GROUND AND IT HAS WORKED BETTER THAN A TREE HOLE. SO I GUESS THEY LIKE GROUND HOLES BETTER... BUT ALOT OF THE COONS I CAUGHT WERE RETARTED

you give 'em an iq test?
