I purchased mine from Top Lot Stretcher Co. They are located in Worthington MN. Excellent service and the stretchers are excellent quality

To add to my earlier post I do not have a lot of coyotes in my area .Therefore I only purchased a small amount of them I had looked at some at a local convention and was not impressed with how they looked .I purchased from Top Lot and was glad I did .I am not sure on price differences but I am happy with the quality in comparison with the ones I looked at when I was at the convention . If you are buying a large amount you are probably better off trying to buy at a local convention

Order from Top Lot Stretcher and have them bring them to the NY Convention. Save shipping.

Top lot. I sand down the nose to narrow it up a bunch for coyotes. Other then they are perfect.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

these are top lot stretchers. no tail board. hard to pin back legs together. that black fiber thing at the bottom is what you use


[Linked Image]

this is the edge. hard to see in the photo but the edge taper is way to thin, add that to half inch wide sides and they don't give your skins that poofiness you want. coyotes and bobcats both get a look at the edge of your pelt when graded . you don't want it thin.


very well put together. craftsmanship is great.

danny, I saw a guy split garden hose and place it over the edges to make them thicker. Just a idea

I prefer Pat Stefanick stretchers - I think he is from Michigan.
