so years ago some one posted a great graph of prime fur periods for the Great Lakes Region mainly Illinois. Does anyone have a copy of it or know were to find it? I'm looking for copies for some new trappers to use as a reference and I can't find the copy I had saved

The hides may be prime but from my experience there are an awful lot of even late December coons let alone January and early February that are breaking up pretty bad and are stinking of hormones and urine and not looking anything clear and shiny at all. I will take late October on average for adults over Christmas adults any day.

No problem. Not sure what region that is for, but is pretty close to average.
