Coons won't hybernat but will 'hole up' when it get really cold. Hunt right after it warms up a little and they should be on the move.

I have been layed off and hunting coons like a fool 3 to 4 times a week. Cause I'm going crazy staying at home watching my 2 girls don't get me wrong. I love them but I like 2 get out and run the dogs when ever I get the chance or when ever the old lady let's me. And I have found out in my country and in my opinion the coldest I will hunt is 15 deg at night, unless it has been 12 deg or colder at night for 3 day straight then on the 4th day if it gets back up to 14 or 15 I will go out the fourth day. And the night after it rains is awsome I don't Know about any where else but if it raining don't even think about going out. Every time I have been out when its even sprinkling don't even try. I am just a rookie though.

I like that night after the night before rains as well... don't like the full moons.
