Raccoon size?

[LanceS4803]

What is a typical size for a raccoon here in TN?
I see references to 15 to 40 lbs. 40lbs?!

I've always wanted to have one mounted and have a 12lb one in the freezer, but think I should wait for a larger one.

Anything over 15 lbs is a really good coon.

I killed one that was 34 inches long dont know what he weighed. That was years ago.

The biggest I've seen was a 24 lbs boar caught it in a coyote set in January . I've caught quite a bit 19 to 21 lbs all were boats.

I've trapped well over 300 coons here at the house and none have been over 20 pounds.
