Does FHA give top lot awards for proper pelt handling? The recognition is nice to get. No they give them because you didn't screw up a good pelt that the animal created. Or sometimes it is just luck. I get them, so it has to be luck when I get them. It is nice to be called an " Ambassador of the fur industry" . I'm not really much of an ambassador though, even though I try to do my part by not trapping much when prices suck. That helps everybody. I'm a giver!

you have the right to protect your land from critters in iowa there is more trappers this time of year any more coon eating sweet corn eating holes in silage bags and feed bags eating dog and cat food meant for pets the list goes on and on in my area there is coon highways along creeks there reproducing like rats and mice and a lot of them are being controled like rats and mice ; Thanks Joe, figured as much. I grew up in Iowa and remember we had to get some kind of "permission slip" if the damage control was on someone else's property. I left in 1982, so probably lots of changes since then.

Anyone score a $15 or above coon at this sale? I know they would be few and far between but just wondering.

There were 19 lots (or strings) that sold for that price or higher in the actual auction. There were several of those lots that brought more than $20.00. There were 2 strings that sold for 25 cents. LM-S II and SM I. I have no idea what happened in the PT room. I doubt anything that sold in there went for over $15.00

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

back in the early 70s if you got 30 to 50 coon a year you got a lot then in the 90s we would get 150 to 200 and not get over 2 miles from home now you could get 500 to 1000 with in a 2 to 3 mile area yes things have really changed in the 70s those were a lot of big silver coon now a big percent of them are poor quality like the one the guy told me looked like it was a little over 1/2 grown turned out to be a tited sow Uhh….I got to question them there numbers. I assume it’s a tongue in cheek exaggeration? 500 to 1000 coon in a 2 to 3 mile area? Coon are thick, no doubt about it. Incredibly thick in fact, but dad gum………

we have those numbers we have a lot of feed guys with feed lots will go out at night and see 40 to 50 coon around their feed bunks plastic wrapped silage bags and you know their not seeing them all corn feilds every where you guys do the math 4 coon per litter a lot of areas havnt seen trapping for 4 to 5 years we see coon running around in the middle of the day almost every time we go some where like i said though big numbers make a lot of inbreeding making poorer quality coon you have 100 sows in a 2to3 mile area which is real low they have 400 kittens or 4 per litter half are female second year you have 300 sows times 4 is 1200 and im talking 4 to 5 years with out trapping you figure it out I’m not going to debate this lol. I’m unable to prove you wrong. However catching a 1000 coon in a “2 or 3 mile area” would require a coon population beyond belief IMO.

If there is that many around here I'm not good enough to catch them!
