Is this a melanistic coon?
I have never seen one this black before

Totally guessing but I would assume so. Beautiful animal regardless

Looks like it's headlamps are on high beam!

I don't know that it's melanistic because it still has white face markings, but it is a dark color phase....know as "fisher coon"

Looks like it. He needs to go

I have seen a very light one but never one that dark.

I one time killed a big old boar coon that was very red colored. The fur buyer called it a cinnamon Coon and he gave me good money for it.
