Have you skinned a few?

I sure don't know. I haven't skinned one in years. Sure not high enough to mess with in my opinion. Also, I just don't kill very many. I have asked myself if it would make a difference to my dog if I knocked out 50 coons to him.

As far as harvesting, I don't believe in taking more than 1 per tree and 1 per night is a nice number. BUT I strongly also believe that if you don't harvest you will end up with disease and a weaker population. I was told by an old fox hunter back in the 50's that you have to look at wildlife like a crop/garden and to have a healthy and good producing one you need to harvest it. If you don't, nature will come in with distemper or mange and I have seen first hand that is a terrible death.

As far as killing coon, I think it depends on where you live and coon population. We have coon but sure not in great numbers. No crop fields, no pecan groves etc. I would love to be where you can tree 4-5 in a three hour hunt consistently but it's not here. Best coon population we have is right around town where you can't hunt.
