What are the black spots on the back of a coon? Bite marks, grubs or what? Do these spots detract from the value of the pelt? Is this a late-season phenomenon or is it common throughout the year? I am seeing these spots after fleshing, obviously..

Well, I need the practice for next year's catch so I am going to finish all of them. Besides, I try to live by the golden rule and I would rather take the hit from a damaged critter than have a fur buyer eat it. I'm thinking it may be a combination of things that are causing the spots. Thanks for the info..

Breeding bites you ususlly see 4 marks fairly close together. Their from the 4 longer teeth .And not very big marks ,but there is usually 4
Keep it simple and If it aint broke don't fix it
