Nice catch. That raccoon would make a nice canoe mount. And it's big enough for christmas supper.
There's a few caught in southern Alberta every year for the past several decades. Where there is one raccoon there is probably a couple more.

FYI
Back in the 70s I had a pet Coon. Ont.
Topped out at 55 lbs
Few years ago a farmer / trapper (dead now) caught one near my place (Westlock) in a Beaver set on a dam crossing. Didn't see it.
He said it was the first one he had ever seen.

There was an indigenous population of 'coons along the Simonette river SW of Valleyview in the '60's. A Native trapper brought one in with his lot of furs to have tagged.
As I recall it was fairly large, but not as big as this one.
