it has been 35 to 29 de. each night and I herd that that is to cold for coon hunting if true can I coon hunt in the day

If it is too cold to coon hunt at night, then I would guess they would stay denned up during the day. I have heard that they will move if there is a storm or cold front moving through. A week ago I saw a coon at about 1 o'clock in the ditch and we got snow later that night.

I dont know what is to cold but I heald off for a week because it has been cold but I am going to start hunting agin and try my luck

you never know they might still be moving, i went once that it was like 10 degrees and i caught one. So my advice is to just go out and give it a try best you can do cause you will never know when they are moving.

Coons still have to move... Food , Water ext.....

Two years ago it was 10 de out and I was still hunting. You just have to move your hunting times around... Try one night early and the next later. You will find when they move...

Yes, You can hunt during the day as well. Most of the time it is a little harder because you are running colder tracks. I have got a coon at 10 am before.. Some just move at different times.

Good luck......

Yeah nora is right on the money they still have to eat and drink.
Move your hunt times around
We also have caught them in the day light walk hunting the creek bottoms
It makes it more of a challenge and anyway a bad day or night of hunting is still better than work

idk about oregon. But in wyoming i cant catch anything when the river gets froze. but a soon as it thaws they are absolutely everywhere.

When its real cold I hunt them in the morning, I've caught a bunch between 10 and noon seems like they start movin when it starts to warm up a couple degrees.

hay thanks you guys I am planing on hunting in the morning so lets go hunting and have fun

I would think they would still be out.

You got to be kidding me!!!! 35 to 29 degrees is too cold ???? Perhaps for you, but certainly not a coon....IMO just right.

no 32 degrees is when water freezes not a moving river. think about it when moving water freezes the coons are still in survival mode. everything they do is slower to conserve energy. so where there would be 5 coon runing around usually, there would only be one or none when you come back at a -10 degrees

29-35 degrees, not to cold at all. once it hits single digits, im stayin home, not worth it for me. ive treed coons when rivers are frooze. one time the dogs ran one into a hole in the ice. they were just barkin treed in the middle of the river. i thought the dogs had lost their minds. then we went over and the coon went down a hole and took off. it was like the river froze, dropped in water level, then froze again, and the coon knew exactly what he was doin. lucky for us, the hounds could nto fit in the hole

a couple of years ago. we where up bear hunting and ran coons with it snowing. it was about 15 and windy. we started it at about 1:00 in the after noon.

i coon hunt durning the day in the winter and find at least one coon to run. they r normaly in there din but i will work to get them out of there. sometime we get more coons in the day then we will at night.

have fun and lets hunt!

For you guys talking about hunting coons during the day, well...

what time are you usually starting at and ending at?

And im guessing a majority of you that are hunting during the day is because the weather is frigid and probably in the negatives?

thanks,
mike.
