back in the days when fur was big fur buyers had several pay rates for coon.a 33 pounder would have fallen in the normal pay scale.then they had what they called a "jumbo rate",these were coon that had a weight of 50 pounds or more.a 50 plus pound coon is absolutly huge.now that was back then,today a jumbo coon is very rare.at least around here they are.a 33 pound coon is a nice size coon in any day and age.
