Coons?
At what temperature do the coons den up?
|
Are You talking about in the Winter time or when they starting having their Young?
Around here Racoons will Go up in their Den Tree's during daylight hours year round then come down in the late evenings,night time and early mornings mostly.In the Winter time they will stay in Dens,Hollow Trees and move much more to look for food and stay warm....I'm thinking they have their Young around Feb,March or April because I've seen Young ones that were weened and traveling with Momma Racoon starting in June & July! |
During the winter when it gets cold. I found something that says 25 degrees. What do you think?

"Bonjour"... You found it on the internet, it must be true, right?
All kidding aside, it's all relative, even for coons. Region of the country, typical temps around that time, warm/cold fronts, moisture/precipitation/snow cover, moon phase, etc etc can all dictate whether coons are active or not. If it has been snowing and blowing 40 below zero somewhere up north, then coons are likely to be moving to feed when the sun breaks out and warms up to 25. If it has been 60 degrees all February and a nasty cold front moves into northern Oklahoma for a few days and drops temps to 30, coons will likely wait out the front for a few days until it warms back up. Simply stated, coons do not hibernate. They may stay in a den for a few days at a time, but they don't go dormant for months on end like bears. How often they venture out during the winter depends on a lot of variables, and predicting that is more of an artform than a science. |

Here they don't move much when it gets to freezing or below but if it warms up to 35 or 40 they are out again. Like nomercy stated they don't hibernate, just hole up during really cold weather.
