29.6 pound Raccoon. Big?

This was my first year trapping and the first animal I caught other than some nuisance skunks was a 29.6lb coon. I was wondering if this is pretty big for north central wisconsin?

I would say that that is a big coon

that would be 1 out of 100s here! Nice catch! BTW welcome

Thanks!It was the only coon I caught this year along with some rats, beaver and coyote

Did you weigh the yote?

I did not weigh the yote but it was the same size if not a little lighter. It was just a small female.

Thats a huge coon around here I've never seen one that big

Yup, coons aren't normally bigger than coyotes.

I don't think they grow coons that big down here. I've never seen one that size here.

I would say that is a monster coon!

Southern coon are much smaller than those in the more northern states--same thing with deer.
Animals in the north ,must be larger to survive.
Living in Minnesota,I have taken many coon over 30 pounds,when I trapped in Missippi,the adult coon averaged aroun 8 or 9 pounds,thats a youngsters weight in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Nikolas,your coon is a big one.Keep at it and you will catch some larger than that.Wisconsin coon grow big.

We average 15 to 25 pound coons here in central illinois

Thats a big coon.
