Yesterday morning I had these 2 raccoons come by me while bowhunting, it was pretty cool to see the different color contrasts. Which 1 of the 2 do you think would bring the most money? I say the dark 1. Let hear what you all think?

That was my first thought as well but if you know a taxidermist who's looking for a dark one like that then it's more likely the first one. Jmho


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Second coon has the best for fur trade, imo.

The second will grade much better. You can dye a lighter colored coon darker. You just can't change the color of those really dark coon.

My sources say they first bleach than dye, looks like a coyote when done, hence the interest in heavy coon. That silver coon probably used as is.
