A few but in general younger coon may still be growing going into the colder weather and can't get by as long without grubbing up something to eat . Also why they may move when the older fatter ones aren't . Haven't been working it to hard lately but got a big coon about a month ago that made me wonder why he wasn't heavier for his size .

Caught one Friday night that was fat as a late October coon. But he was a big boar. Like Larry said, the younger ones have thinned out alot.
