Memorable catch. What size stretcher you gonna put him on?

I've gotten a few like that. It is amazing how much bigger a 30lb one is over a 25lb one. Almost seems double the size.

Took one out of an attic /rooftop of a house right next to a trash transfer station. Unlimited food supply 100 yards away. Urban raccoons can get very big. Fun trying to carry a live one in a cage trap with one hand while climbing down a ladder as it shifts it's weight around.


Nice catch , k snow.

Sweet. Nice color too.

Nice catch. How do you make your patch grease with it?

Hugeness!

Good thing you’re used to those strongman competitions! Lifting him is a piece of cake for you!
(Don’t mention cake around him, he may rise from the dead!!)

I render the fat in a nesco cooker and ladle off the good stuff. Put it in small tins. Then I warm the tin, dip a patch in, one wet patch sandwiched between two dry patches and they are ready to shoot.

Pretty sure my coon boards won't be long enough, might end up using an adjustable coyote stretcher.

He's likely going to be tanned and I'll keep him, so not too worried about getting the exact stretcher shape.

Nice catch there Kyle, I had one two years ago that I had to put up on a coyote board also.

Dang son... what a TANK!
