So i was talking to a furbuyer from missouri, asking him if a large otter board was ok to use on the smaller coyotes(they are). He said he used a fence picket. Leave fur out, insert fence picket then turn the picket so it holds the fur open. Anyone heard of doing this?

If your going to use fence boards. I would start out with the skin out and once the skin has dried a bit I would turn It fur out and repeat the process. Unless you have air actually blowing up Into void I don't think your going to get that skin dried with out turning It.

But I think you ought to buy some coyote boards and do It the right way.

I use the small coyote NAFA spec board...I know NAFA is toast, but their small coyote board fits the smaller coyote in this section well...Might work for you too.

Thanks! The "otter" board i bought measure what the large yote board does in the photo.

Glad to help, hope it works for you.
