Ok I'm goin to buy a half dozen of the coyote/cat strechers from top lot.
My questions are is the belly board for coyotes needed?
And what's this Nevada strech I keep hearing about?

Are top lot strechers the best thing I can buy for both coyote and cats?
Or should I be buying another adjustable strecher that is species specific?

Thanks

Ken Smith

I have a bunch of the adjustable top lot stretchers. They came marked for cats and coyotes on how far to spread them. I like them.

Yukon, from what I understand the nevada strech is when the belly board is used to pin the legs of the cat in to the center of the body making the belly look longer. I will order these strechers with the belly boards and try this out.

I have always been EXTREMELY pleased with all of the Top Lot boards I have got.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I believe this is where the belly board helps. On the adjustable top lot stretchers you can opt to buy the belly board that slips up the middle of the stretcher. If you don't want the belly board the adjustable top lot stretchers come with some corrugated plastic pieces which you can use to pin the tails.

The corrugated plastic is not big enough, that’s why I asked . I ended up using a piece of regular cardboard with hardware cloth over that . I will see if I can get you a picture when I get home .

Use a shake or heavy cardboard tacked to the split boards.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

I do similar to BC. Have also used a plastic screen too. I like the screen for better air flow

On the belly board as said. These were homemade stretchers, not sure if the top lots come like this or not.

If you’ve got em, a basswood mink board works great for pinning legs together and tail down on your adjustable stretchers.
