I would be nice to only use one board per species. "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my traps for what I said I paid for them."

Like the 5x and 6x coons wouldn't exist anymore and super blankets as mentioned in other threads before as well. Groeny and other buyers don't post their sizing charts so i don't know and that is why I am asking. Only sizes I can find are FHA sizes. Owner Wind River Trapping Supplies
