Caught one a cage trap today. How often do you trap or see them?
He's fully primed. I will skin this one to have tanned. Since southern coon aren't worth much otherwise.

I caught more dark coon this season than I ever have. None of them were completely black though.

I have killed a lot of coons over 40 years and only caught 1 all black coon, silver tips on ears and silver rings on tail.
Leather was clear and bright, Got 25.00 cash put up that year average for 31 head count. 1983, before the ‘86 crash in the market.

I catch black ones periodically, but dark ones are more common. Larger male was 19 pounds, small female only 10
Pounds. Male was caught in December, female was caught today.
