Coon was caught this morning. I've never caught any coon this late in the season before, so kinda wondering if this is normal or mange? Excuse my ignorance here but I have never caught anything with mange so really don't know what to look for. Thanks for your help.

Its from climbing in and out of a den, scraping that area going in and out.

Rubbing gets to be a big deal after a cold snap and a den up period. I always send the lightly rubbed or slightly springy ones off to tan. Never can see anything wrong after that. They sell quickly at gun shows or benefit auctions.
