On wood I pin them out 4 or 5 pins to a side
I do not stretch it down or sideways just flat

Not the wrong thing ,but, it will not make you a penny more. As long as you keep a few pins in the tail to keep it open to dry, is all it needs. I know I spend too much time pinning the tails. I want them to look good, but don Wolf is right, it doesn't increase the value at all. Last year a lot of my coon only had half a tail and they brought the same as those with nice tails all pinned nice and even.
It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, but only 3 for a proper trigger squeeze.

I hold them open with large paper clips, on wire Id imagine you could do it with wood too and just pin the tip of the tail down.

Loc: Warren County, PA 21 yo i saw this at a convention a couple years ago, but if you take a piece of cardboard about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide, start it at the base of the tail and slide it down flat on the tail. once the tail is completely covered i just staple the cardboard in place or nail it, etc... the cardboard sucks out the grease and they
