First it looks like the board is to wide thus length for size grade is not attained. The butt should be tack off straight across the board and the front legs should trimmed shorter and tack straight across from each other. Better yet, sew them closed for better appearance. Sorry I do not have a picture of a boarded otter but they should be put up just like a mink. Last edited by bctomcat; 02/10/20 07:34 PM. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Instead of hardware cloth I use a piece of thin cardboard (plain, no printing on it, cut from cereal boxes use the plain side against the tail or else it may say CoCo Puffs on the leather). Widen the tail with my thumbs, then lay the cardboard on it, pin with 2 pins.The cardboard will absorb all the grease from the tail and any that drains down the pelt leaving a nice fluffy tail. Try it on one tail and you will see what I mean. It is how we did 25,000 ranch mink each year. Bigger cardboard pieces work well on otter.
