What make prime fur? Cold weather or the photo period? (the amount of sun light to the amount of darkness per day) or both.

Photoperiod triggers the start of thickening the leather and the weather dictates the thickness of the fur. JMHO

The priming cycle is governed by photoperiod.Animals in the same area of the same species can reach full prime a couple weeks before others.It varies slightly in each individual for different reasons,Regardless of the difference in actual peak prime in individual animals,the cycle itself is governed by photoperiod.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

2 coyotes so far, first one, caught on Thursday wasn't quite prime yet, the one today had a little bit of mange. So far, not so well. My first red fox looked good, though.
