Are coons right handed?

[Ishi&Elvis]

I have trapped 6 animals in the last couple of weeks, 5 coons and one porcupine. All but one had their right paw in the Duke trap. The other had both paws in it. Anyone ever notice which paw you are catching? I know, slow day at work.

Surely there are some “ South Paws” in the raccoon family. Pun intended.

7:52 am and it’s already a slow day at work?

In my study of raccoon handedness, they tend to be right handed but left foot dominant.

In my studies I’ve found them to have four legs and no arms or hands.

Coons Rt or Lft handed are evil buggers , I am in desperate need of some dukes or golden malrin soup
They destroyed my feeder;(

[AntlerCollector]

golden malrin soup (

2-3 oz of marlin in a small bowl and mix in a can of Coke. Put it right under your feeder. The deer won’t touch it, but the coons will once.

Never gave it much thought so I reviewed past pictures of coons I caught in my traps. Of ten I’ve got pics of, seven were right handed and three were left handed.

I never really thought about it. But I went back and did looked at a lot of data, trailcam pics, video, etc....

Not really. You're full of it.

Never thought about it and probably never will again…..

[Landrover]

[Voodoo]

Yes, there are left handed animals to include yotes

Good question…I don’t know. They walk on them like paws but use them like hands. Haws? Pands?
