Everyone says to leave coon overnight and let them “firm up”. I’ve seen that to be true with the fat. Strange how that works. So the big old cow is still in the bed of my truck and I’ll tackle it after work tomorrow…
Put the in the freezer for about 45 min. to firm up

Just a wall hanger! I would bunch it in with my others, I have five in a corner strung up with a zip tie. (I love the look of a BUNCH of fur). But I think this one deserves to be set apart. For now I’m having a hard time putting it down. Luxuriously soft!

Elsmasho82 That a pretty coon for sure. On my line I have noticed that the coon have small pool of genetics. I had one farm where I would catch one or two black raccoons every fall. On another farm they would be some almost red. So if you set regularly in that location. Is a good chance you may catch more in that color pattern.

"Never Forget Which Way Is Up!" Thanks Mac! One year I caught one with a sorta piebald face. I’d love a cinnamon one!
