Tough tomcats you’ve got in your neighborhood. Coons can weigh up to 35 pounds.
I love those tomcats.
My husband said the coon weighed well over 30 pounds, and he would know. He hauled it out of the barn after he dispatched it. There’s a serious problem with rabid ‘coons in this county, so he picked it up with a shovel and hurled it into the woods on the other side of our creek........he would not bury it here.
