Put a wedge In from the mouth end after turning and your problems go away. Then there Is no reason to go beating the nose end of your stretcher on the deck.

How are going to use wedges in adjustable ( you mean SPLIT) boards? Another way to avoid your problem is to use a board that is collapsible in the head area rather than butt. To avoid this use a head spacer that can be easily removed through the pelt mouth area. All that’s required is a standard clothes pin, a headless nail, some duct tape and a 6 or 8 inch sip tie. The spreader nail should be no more than 4 inches from the board tip to facilitate removal of the cloths pin spacer. Pull the spacer pin, squeeze the boards together and the pelt is removed very easily compared to the normal procedure with a collapsible board at the butt end.
The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

I'm betting you could place a wedge In from the mouth at a angle where It would cross the space on the adjustable board. But your system would also work just fine. At least you wouldn't be beating your stretcher on the ground. LOL

Take an old style stick candle and lightly wax the outsides of your stretcher when you flip your fur. It will not dry on to the wax. Makes taking them off the boards easy.
I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.
