What do you folks use for gray fox stretchers? I have never caught one til today, in fact, I've never seen one in our area. I have both medium and large fox stretchers, I'm assuming I use the small fox board?

I just use one of my smaller boards I use for Reds.

Its tough getting an avg.Gray on a red board. Skinny neck and shoulders.

What size is good for fox if you're using wire? #4 or #5?

I Agree. That's why I modify a few of my fox boards to accommodate these different body styles. A block plane and a little sandpaper can do wonders

I would say # 4 on the wire stretchers and those might even be too big. A # 5 wire for fox is overkill, IMO.

5 1/2" x 48" board works good

I have a gray pattern. I'm just to lazy to shave down a couple red boards. Besides its a great upperbody workout.

So, You are saying that your "put up" Greys end up having big heads and shoulders?

No! I just catch the XXXL's so i don't have that problem.

7x48 fox board works well for gray fox,that is what i use and it will give you a nice fox pelt.

Well, she fit on a medium fox board. A bit tight in the neck region, but the belly board slid in fairly easily. We'll see how tight it is when I turn it in the morning.

Yes, a med will work verry well.

It'll cost a little more but adjustable wooden stretchers are hard to beat.

Yep, same problem here. Gray fox are skinnier through the neck and shoulder area and a lot of times if you put them on a red fox board you will have a tough time getting the slack out of the head area because the neck and shoulders are hung up on the board. I have a pattern that works well for grays and will be modifying several standard red fox boards to fix this problem.

I use the grey fox board from Grawe's. Grey fox need their own board. Went that route years ago. Use the right board and you will get more length thus more money. Simple as that!
