Are you kidding me, a coon in the middle of the day!

[DianaMallory]

Gathered my eggs, scooped the poo, fed and watered my girls just sitting on my deck watching them. Drinking my cup of coffee and my dog starts going crazy barking, I look and there is a coon coming out from under my house 40 feet from me! 30 feet away from girls! He seen me and ran back under the house! Trap is set with a can of sardines in it. So come on back for your last supper Mr. Coon and enjoy! Because it is the last one you will get! Mr. 22 is for desert!

I've seen them in the early afternoon on my property. They don't always read the instruction books that tell them to only come out at night.

Doesn't that often mean they're sick?

not necessarily. Most animals aren't strictly nocturnal, especially with the really dry weather that we have been having. They will come out whenever there is the best chance of finding food/water

Yep i have walked up on all kinds of critters in the woods in the daytime while they were forging for food.

They are out in the daytime but usually stay hidden .
