Paper clips to spread the tail! Nice! If my oldest will get his act together about cleaning up after himself me might get to go trapping.
Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

steal away guys. I have considered the screen thing but paper clips are so cheap fast and easy so I stick with it. AV they work even better on mink tails than marten

I am thinking the paperclip idea works on just about any tail to get it open correctly and drying. I am going to give it a try as well. Save on pins and i think it will look cleaner.

I tried it on fox it was a PIA, otter tails are too wide, mink and marten work real well and I have heard coon too. I bet they would work on fisher as well. Make sure and use the bigger clips 2" or so the standard small size are much harder to work with

That is so cool! Yes get the next generation interested! Such a valuable skill, and I actually wish I had paid more attention when my dad trapped regularly.
