Back about 7-8 years ago my elderly neighbors stopped by my place. Asked if I could trap or hunt a big coon that had been eating their cat and dog food for a long time. Of coarse I didn't want to trap it. Where's all the fun in that. So after a long fall of trying to get this coon treed. He'd always take the dogs around the hill and loose them in a briar patch that had a farm pond in the middle of it. My old redbone I had that weighed in at 43 lbs, treed this coon that weighed in at 42 lbs. I weighed it on 3 different scales just to make sure. I've never treed one close to that since. The biggest in recent couple years was 33 and change.

All that "hunting" would make a guy second guess what he was hauling.

I don't have a scale to weigh anything around here. The blue pup was 42 lbs at her last vet visit, the Walker maybe 5-10 pounds over her. Dropped 2 others about the same size that night.

I never got to weight the my biggest ever. I killed it in 1983 just north of Oscoda, Mi, he measured 47" from nose to tail. Somewhere I have pic of me holding him skinned out with his nose chest high and his tail just barely touching the ground. My guess is he was close to 36-38lbs.


I was hunting with a friend in a big cedar swamp during season. When he hit ground I told my buddy I was gonna carry him out just to see what he weighted. After a 1/4mi I told him hang on. There was no way I was going to carry that coon another 1/2mi to the truck. I got my knife out and went to skinning right there.

56 lbs, had 3 young Blueticks. He was 51 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. I kept one and sold the other two, when old Spook died at 14 I buried him under that tree.

I have a 41 pounder in a full mount that I got in 1984

Most of the biggest coon being mentioned are found in northern parts of the Midwest. A lot of the larger coon don't really care to tree, so you need to have a hound with a little grit to catch them on the ground.

I'm not saying there is not a 40 lb coon somewhere in NE, but to call them common is a stretch.

Just like yotes and Bobcats, they gotta be 30 before they can be 40 lol

We don't have coons that size in Louisiana. The biggest I ever weighed was 22 pounds and that's really big. Our average adult boar coon weighs about 15 pounds.

Our coons average about 16-18 pounds in the winter, big coons weigh around 25 pounds. I am only 5 miles south of the IA line, and they get a little larger the further north you go, but not a lot in the ones I have trapped and hunted.

The last year the coons were high we skinned over 400, and there was not a 30 pounder in the bunch.

Our coons are big likely about the same as the northern Midwest states. I've carried out a pile of coons that weighed 40 when I started, 50 when by the time I got to the truck, and about 26 when I got them on a scale lol. LLikely the biggest coon I've killed we ended up skinning it half way out and the hide with a little fat on it weighed14 lbs. Have weighed maybe 6 in 30 years that actually weighed 30+
