A good clear on the top end of a 4X can make it... Maybe your not privy enough?
You have yet to explain how your the ONLY water trapper on planet earth taking coon the first week, who doesn't catch any 1X or 2X coon with out culling. We have a bigger coon on average here than you do down in the banana belt, and we still have a fair percentage of 2X first season in the water.
And you still didn't answer whether your counting those first week coon you sold on the carcass in your $13 average?
Dave I already told you I sold zero coon this season. ZERO. I also trapped ZERO coon the first week. I also said nothing about culling. I said I owned 1000 coon and have 50 2xl and 3 xl so far off the boards. I am not done scraping and there will probably be a few more in that few I have left to finish which I will finish next week. The A color (top lot type) 4x outlier is a one in 300 or better as you well know. Your biggest issue with size can easily be explained because I used to have smaller coon when I used wire like you do. I skin and board to specifications of the auction houses as well as most fur buyers. Most yearling coon by the second week of the season are 3x when put up properly. My geographical location in the Loess Hills has a huge part in the food base as well as numbers. Talk to Gary on that and he will explain to you why he now runs a route that goes right down interstate 29 that parallels the MO river bottom and the hills. He learned there are big coon in this area. Yes you can generalize areas but again it is not always correct to say an area has this size fur and this color. Not always right. SHAFTA always graded fur by location and your zip code. Not the right thing to do. Go 50 miles east of here and the coon colors, size and heft go down hill quickly. Gary found that out on his Red Oak stop. LLL

Nafa never graded fur by zip code or truck they came off.They did start the breakdown that way though,but the end grade never reflected that.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I thought Duke paid Dave and NAFA paid you,,,,how did you guys get rat wagon guy to pitch in too?You guys are good !!! I have never sold any fur through a panel van window. They always bring it and park it on my street though. I had to pull him out with my pickup last year when he got stuck. LLL

Anybody ever sell a coon into the FUR market for 130$? Yes. I had two in the same top lot in I believe 2013 at FHA. I will see if I can find it and post a picture. Lee S. can vouch for it. I had told him and believe he had one in the same lot from a Kansas coon. That begs the question... How many Canadian section coon have ever get a top lot since they give only one lot that award? I have enough to paper a wall with. All from SW IA both NAFA and FHA Western Northern as well as SHAFTA Northern Heavy. Most were participation trophies the last few years. LLL
