Does anyone have some measurements for a good adjustable coyote or coon stretcher?

A lot of guys use the wire stretchers. I got these dimensions from the Trapper Education Handbook. Not sure if they are for wire or wooden stretchers
Coon: Small Length-34 Base-8 Shoulder-5.5 Neck--11.5
Average: 42 9 6.5 12
Large: 48 10 7.5 12.5

Coyote: (Same order)
Small: Length-65 Base 11 Shoulder-8 Neck-12
Average: 70 12 9 13
Large 75 13 9.5 14

I have an extra book or two if you need one

Wire stretchers are ok for raccoons but I've never cared for wire stretchers for bobcats , fox or coyotes these three deserve to be put up on wood stretchers as they'll look so much better in the long run , I'd almost be willing to bet that any fur buyer worth there weight in beaver castor will tell you the same thing .

Wire here mostly never had any complaints over the years.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
