anyone else use the coin method??

keep the fifty cent pieces and silver dollars but not the dimes and quarters????

What's the coin method?

I use the Bear method. How far are the ears from one another.

Are you talking size or quality?

size,and lets just say it has to do with the size of scat they are able to leave.

The two fist method takes all the guessing out of it !

So I just gotta know.. Is this done pre-dispatch?!? Lol

depends on if it's late or early in the day,but for a soaked coon or a big fuzzy fluffy it is honestly a good judge i believe.

I hope you don't put them coins back in your pocket!

so how do the rest decide which ones are worthy of a ride in the pickup in this market???

i wish we were allowed to sell carcasses in PA.

I use the three strikes method. If a little one gets in a trap I'll set it loose 2 times. On the 3rd time it goes to the shed. Sometimes you CAN fix stupid.

I've released a few little ones, not because I thought they should be released, but because whatever kid I had with me thought they were too little. Personally I don't practice catch and release trapping, but if releasing a critter here or there will keep a kid from being turned off to trapping then so be it.

They all die. Only the two's and bigger get the ride home, and this year, after the two's are put up, they are going back in the freezer. Current market, three's and bigger will get sold!
