I've seen a couple of these this year, just wondering what's going on, they have almost no fat and they have a real pink tint to the flesh on the hide, also tough to flesh, I assume due to no fat. Some sort of sickness I imagine?

Not a sickness....just a lean coon.


You're right on the tough fleshing job on those.


Thank God For Your Blessings!

Means they didn't eat enough sweet corn, bear bait, and turkey eggs before the winter smile Ive wondered if in areas with a lot of food if those occasional critters with that just didn't plan ahead or if maybe they have a higher worm count so just can't put on the fat even though they try.
