My leopard cur (McDill's Pride x Clarks Ann) treed a 21 pound coon here in Tennessee. This is by far the biggest Tennessee coon that I have treed. I have treed bigger coons when I lived in Maine and Colorado. I am from Tennessee have hunted here since the 1960's and this is the biggest that I have treed here. What is the biggest coon you have treed and what state were you hunting in when you caught it? Not a guess weight but a real weight.

biggest i have ever weighed was 36 pounds, we skin most all we shoot right on the spot so the majority don't get weighed, would be willing to bet we have shot some 40+ pounders

It would take 8 to 10 Tennessee coons to add up to 50 pounds.

here in kansas 25lb is my record we get a number of 18 to 20lb coons every year. the local fur buyer has a big coon contest every year and i think around 35lb is the winner every year . my boy and i are waiting to break the 30lb mark.

My two biggest was 43 pounds and 46 pounds in eastern Montana. These coons were living in abandoned farms and were eating out of graineries and creep feeders. 30 poun boars pretty common there in the Dakota and western Nebraska too. biggest ever in New Mexico just a shade under 30.

Shot one out of a tree that weighed 38 lbs, measered 40" from nose to tail. After it was skinned went to 50". Had one that was 56" after it was skinned, didn't have a scale handy to weigh that one.
