As far as "time of year" - don't think it makes a lot of difference. Temps get into the single digits - definitely slows them down. I have talked a lot to one of the first guys who discovered this back in the 80s. He is a self-proclaimed "numbers" guy. He said he kept track of every day he hunted with all available info from date, wind speed, direction, temps, barometric pressure, moon phase. He did this for four seasons and he was killing 100-200 coon a year. He had a biologist friend with the DNR feed all the info into the computer.. He just knew he was going to come out of it with *the best time to call 'coons*.

Results: As he puts it... "not one &%*$ing bit of pertinent information". Go when you can..

I will tell you this.. "something" makes a difference - because one day *everything* wants to play and some - nothing.

Buddy and I went this morning. Made eight sets - saw eight coon and killed five.. Killed four out of one tree..
