Green skinned. Twenty is about a light-med. sized coon. 25 lbs. is about the med. mark., 28-32 would be on the large side of things and over that is a bigun anywhere you go. The biggest one I have this year was actually one of the three road kills I picked up on the way home from work. I didn't weigh it but it was a hog. Could have made a coat for my son out of that one. Went out tonight and didn't do a whole lot. Too cold for the coon. Buddy had one in a hole under a dead-fall tree but I'm not digging all night for one coon. My buddy had to get home early so we called it a night. I sure hope it snows here soon, I would like to start running gray fox. They are bringing an exceptional price this year. We don't have a ton of them but enough to have some fun. Holy smokes! They sure do give some great races. I won't be too sad if we get a little warm up though, I would like to pad the Christmas present account with about fifty more coon before I pack it in. I've only been able to get out about four nights a week and havn't gotten as many as I would like. Things are tight this year and I'm going to have to buy all of the presents with the money I make coon hunting. Hope every ones season is goin well. Dan
