I'm going to re due my fur hanging hooks this year, coyote ears not drying very good. How far apart do you all hang your fur to dry? I'm planning on making metal flat stock and weld hooks to it. Than screw it to ceiling. Also I have a wall mount fan . Is six inches far enough apart?
Let me sugar coat this

Mine are 8 inches apart. I take out cartilage and use a light rub of borax. No fan and about 50°F

I run tea cup hooks on a 1X2 on the ceiling for rats then space them out when yotes go on the hooks. 1 or 2 fans running at all times.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

If you really want to get fancy you can build a forced air system for your coyote boards No I don't want to get that carried away. Think I'm going to get a second fan, blow one One way an another the other way.

Normally I over think stuff but not this time. This is number 9 wire bent with pliars spaced about 6 inches apart on already existing shelving. No way you can get any easier than this, plus with a fan or two it's very effective.

TD I have some of my boards set up like that. Can’t remember where I got the idea from. Might have been you. I’m a uninstrut weirdo. I seem to try and find ways to use it. Lol Als use machine shed door track as a rail system for butchering deer.
I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'.
More trappin' and less yappin'.
