Ramblings and Such From Hunting Coyote

It's not a true hibernation they will hole up for the cold weather, I have seen them stay in for a month or two depending on how long it stays cold.

That's interesting. I was told long ago that coons don't like the snow since thier feet are so sensitive. I don't think thats entirely true since I've seen ALOT of coon tracks in the snow and seen many out and about in all conditions.

I don't think much of anything likes to get out in subzero temperatures and especially if it's also windy, I know I for sure don't and I'm glad that I don't have to work in it now. I have taken a lot of fox, bobcats and coyote in cold weather, but not many racoons or skunks. I did see a bat out in January so turned it in for rabies testing it had white nose disease, a fungal infection, but tested negative for rabies .
