how many coons

That question is the hardest of any to answer.It is all depends on the food supply,the available denning areas,and what kind of population exists.
 If you have everything available that a coon needs,they will migrate to that area. But here again, the existing populations of the surrounding areas must be known.If you have a high coon population,don't worry about it.
 I run into the same thing with beavers,I just go in and clean out an area,if the food sources and water they need are available,they move in to fill the void I have made.
 I have been trapping all the beavers I can take,in one area for 12 years now,they just keep moving back in.
