Depends on the skin and end use really.Mink marten fox wolf coyote coon etc almost always get split up the belly for garment use anyway.You wouldnt want to split the belly on a cat though. Taxi stuff is a different story. Last edited by Boco; 02/07/22 12:52 AM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have some wood stretchers I have used in the past, and don't really like the look of them when they came off the boards, so this year I threw some on my coyote and racoon wire stretchers just to see what they end up looking like. So far I kinda prefer the look on the wire. Something to keep in mind... I do not have high dollar bobcats on my line like you guys do further west. Pratt County

But, my experience is boards make for a better looking dried pelt....not as flat looking. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Much of presentation is just minor style differences which attempts to influence the grader. Presentation just shows pride in put up and it can count at times when it provides a favorable initial view to the fur grader. Last edited by bctomcat; 02/25/22 01:31 PM. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

The cats come out nicer than the otter, think I’m going to get a taxidermy tan on these next two otter, to see if they are softer.
