I want to tan a fox. All I have is coyote stretchers. Could I use a coyote stretcher for a fox?

Try It If It fits go for It. If your going to tan It just dry It fur In no need to turn It fur out.

Kevin, a fox stretcher is six inches at the shoulders and six and a half at the bottom. Coyote board is gonna be awful wide. The initial stretch is kinda important, because even after the tanning, they want to return to that shape. I'd try to find or build a board the right size.

Lee, I will disagree with you about a mis-stretched Hide retaining it’s shape after tanning. I’ve bought wolves in Canada that were stretched short and wide, about 2 feet wide at the hips. They are normal wolf length and width after tanning.

Same applies to raccoon and bobcat.

I have to agree with Miss Wiss

Put This In the archives It's the first time I think I ever agreed with Miss Wiss

January 21, 2021, a day that will forever be remembered as the day that 2 old timers that never agree on anything have agreed on something!!

Amazing!!!

LOL

I have adjustable coyote stretchers. Could I adjust them down to 6 inches? I'm glad I could help to two on agreeing on something.

I see what you’re saying Lee, coyote board wider at the shoulders. Thanks.

But Nancy they were Canadian wolves that just had to shrink down to USA standards.
Are you sure that Beavs wife did not sneak in a comment when he was not at the puter !

It was me northof50. LOL

FCOL,just go get an old fence board and take 20 minutes to make a fox stretcher.

Are you going to home tan It? If so just scrape the hide and tan It no reason to board It and dry It. If you cant get at It right away just roll up the scraped hide and freeze It.

I’m sending it out.

Then what I would do Is call the place where you are sending It and ask them what your options are.
