Comes from 4-5 years (which is old for a coon) of denning and their face tucked into their groin for weeks. When denned they will rub the forehead (NOT the rub-neck area which is present/common on many younger coons) and it will slowly wear away and not replace itself. i raised several coons through the years and when they got to that 5 year time they were all (male and female) displaying a bald spot. And I harvested a few with it in Michigan during early November (long before they denned up for the year) back in the 70's.......................... my take.................... the mike
