If you can see through it, it's a rub or just no underfur there.

Ive never seen it on fall or mid January coon but about February most have some. By March 1st is very pronounced. I’ve been told this is associated with rutting. I don’t know coon biology well enough to argue this point. It may be where the coon start losing their winter coat first, also.

We call them scratch backs. I believe It's ticks and other mites gathering In that area and the coon are scratching at them. I have seen It happen In Dec coon. In fact I sold several coon to groney a while back and 3 were scratch backs and the other were Ok. The scratched backs brought $6.00 while the other ones brought between $18.00 and $12.00. You will get docked for those scratched back coon.

Welcomed unclej. Thanks Bigbrownie. My Coon are fleshed then tumbled, then boarded. The tumbling gets the grease out. Pic was taken minutes after tumbling & boarding. Thanks Beav. Never knew what that spot was or caused it. Thanks for sharing. Here's some good ones... Got Coon?
