On your coyote and fox split stretchers I'd recommend running a router over the flat surfaces of the stretchers and then the outer beveled edge of them I'd cut down the center with your table saw to allow a bit more air flow while hanging the skins .

I'm still a fan of borax on the ears and around the front legs on coyotes and on the belly if they are starting to turn green for what ever reason. And keep a fan running to keep the air moving.
