Thought I had seen this posted before but I was not able to find the info when searching.

Which stretcher is preferred for wolverine? Are the feet greasy like wolf?

Thanks!

I will take a look at furharvesters dimensions. Hopefully one of the ones I have is a match.

Better pick up some borax. Recall using that on the wolf feet as well.

Or lots of salt. Change several times. Works fine. The pelts aren't near as greasy as southeast otter.


Just doing what I want now.

Looks like my adjustable lynx one is real close on the dimensions and I have a couple others that are a little smaller or a little larger to cover all my bases.

Got plenty of salt on hand and will get the borax just in case.

Excited for this guy to thaw out so I can get the trap out of his jaws.

I use my adjustable lynx stretcher. I also borax the feet; pack it in the toes and get a good coat all over the inside and then dump it out a day or two later.

I use the same adjustable stretcher for lynx, wolverine and coyote. Make sure you skin the pads out of the paws. Salt or borax works but not necessary when fleshed properly. I like to use a fan on mine when on the board to keep air circulating
