What is the best way to determine if a coon is a 2xl. Weight or length in the carcass and what would that be?

I'm not sure there is a way to judge that in a live coon other than just experience. Dispatch skin and measure enough of them and soon you'll be able to tell by just looking at them in the trap. (for the most part) It's hard to tell when they are right on the line.

Just dispatch and sort out later. Listen to ADC it’s mainly experience. I dispatch everyone because release is not an option

If it has nice color and it's caught after Nov. 15th in Iowa, skin it.
