Raccoon mounts and rugs, Lets see em!

[seth30]

I gained some access to property that is overrun with raccoons and after I get my deer I will be working that property.  I am really intrested in a mount or rug and I am looking for ideas.  Please post them up

i dont have one but they are really cool rugs, the old timer that taught me to hunt with hounds had a couple and they sure were neat

I wish I had some hounds to hunt them with   I will be using shotgun since I am in a weapons restriction area.  Any recommendations on shot size for a coon?

Shoot them with a good pellet gun at least 1250fps. I use to double lung coons in my yard in the tops of evergreen trees and drop them with one shot.

Here is a lifesize I did about 8 yrs ago for a Yakima couple.

That is one dandy mount

Not really the best of pictures.

How much did that mount run you?

Bunch of rug pics online.

They are pretty cool.

Really looking forward to September 1st so I can go out and bag a few animals   Will coons have slippage in September?

No but there hair quality may not be the best. if you would really like one with nice hair I would wait tell at least the end of October hope this helps.

My brother in-law use to hunt them with his hounds. Told him I would be interested in a big one so I could get a lifesize mount done. Talked to one of the local taxi's and he wanted $850 for a coon mount. Thought he was crazy so cut the tail off and threw it in the trash.

Hard to tell on my computer but is that raccoon hanging on that driftwood?

Funny to see this.  I just drug a big one out of the corner buried in my garage that I never finished.   He rivals the worst mount award at the moment.
