Geez, I have baby coon out here on the west coast. Most of mine will stretch xl with a few hitting 2xl. A 3xl is rare and a4xl almost non-existent.

Nice looking batch of fur! How many 5X do you normally have for every thousand coon caught?

Have you ever seen the movie "ground hog day" with Bill Murray? It seems that way daily during the seasons and seasons turn into the same thing over and over as well Beav. Only so many ways to stack coon you know. lol, LLL

I think LLL and Dave both stand out as exceptional trappers, and both do a great job on their put-up. Shows what a LOT of hard work and determination can get you. Trapping is the best therapy.

Larry, it appears you are cutting the front legs really short. That would sure make things easier. No problem on the paycheck?

I know what It takes to put up large numbers of fur. I haven't trapped 1000s like these guys have but I've skinned scraped and boarded as many and maybe more. That's why I mentioned the therapist thing. LOL
It would be smart If they were farming out some of this put up work. I know I put up lots of coon for big numbers guys.

I think my best year was somewhere around 500 coon. ROW trapping

The front legs look just like the coon I sent to NAFA for Monday. 15% made the first page of western north central, including the top lot.

Cut them short like that before you start fleshing and It's a lot easier getting them clean.
