Here in NE we have so many coons they do get distemper. They do go for water and I have found some in our pond. They act different than a healthy coon, their out in the day and not that scared of people, cars or dogs.

61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill. To many bullhead and common carp
