I do not know the exact temperature
I think it depends a lot on location.
But i have seen fresh coon tracks on some cool mornings.
maybe sneakysnake or catmando would have a better answer
for you,

This year has been a little unusual, I am not sure why. I usually do not trap till after mid December. Usually if it is cold and has been cold for a while, then warms up above 25-28 degrees F, the coons will run. Last year was unusual as well, because we had twice the amount of snow that we normally get.

My findings are very similar to ss's. For the most part, if it will be fairly calm winds for several days, temps above 20 F. will generally see some movement. If you add high winds then it needs to be closer to 30 F. It also depends on the time of year. As the coon "rut" draws nearer (late Dec- Feb), they will begin to run more often, even in conditions that they previously have not been running in.
Then it's hammer time! Right H?

I think our coon have settled in for the long haul.
