What's with the daytime raccoons ?

[Ms Grit]

Been getting a decent number of pictures of raccoons out in the daytime on my Mineral Magnet sites which also have a Killer Kube on them.  Also had 2 raccoon cubs walk across my driveway and start climbing a tree at 10:30 in the morning.  They all appear to be healthy.  What gives?

Can't say for sure, but I know when I find something I like to eat I'll eat it any time of day or night

Very common  coons are out in the daylight in the summer a lot.  Most of the time if you see a coon eating or drinking during the daylight hours their dens are close by. I get calls all the time with folks concerned with coons eating in the pet food bowl during the daylight hours.  A lot of times it is sows that have pups near by and nursing.  she needs a lot of energy LOL  also while some coons have young nursing pups this time of year many are 3 months old now and she will be teaching them the ways of the world feeders and mineral sites are easy food source.  If a coon or skunk during daylight is walking in circles, acting drunk or chasing someone then there may be a problem LOL eating and drinking nothing wrong

The pics remind me of the racoons from "The Great Outdoors" lol!

I often get daylight pics of raccoons. I always thought it was a sign of rabies but saw plenty over the years while hunting and it seemed pretty normal.

Thanks gentlemen.  I've never maintained any of my deer spots this early in the past, so although I didn't think they had rabies, I was curious as to what was up with them roaming around in the middle of the day.
