The last few raccoons I caught before it got crazy cold are beautiful. First year I ever tried to catch some, it’s almost as addictive as k9 trapping! This one is 33” to base of tail on a 9” board. I’m not sure what section the coons here will grade into so I went with this size.

Awesome fleshing job!! You must not get much for ticks up there? I wonder if you're wider head because of the board size cost you a couple inches at the bottom, although perhaps not enough to reach 4xl size. This map shows the general NAFA coon regions, yours will probably go Canadian but that's not guaranteed. I live in se SD and have had coon grade in 3 out of the 4 regions on the left side of the legend. I hope you score at least one of those mylar 20s you guys are using up there for currency...

Thanks! Not many ticks around here. Western end of the province is loaded but very few on this end. Thanks for the zoning map. I’m thinking they will likely go Canadian

Beautiful prime and unmarked pelt. We don't get many like that. And a great fleshing job. What kind of knife do you use?--Very nice work.
I'd like to know what you get for a 'coon like that.
