I know wood is best and we are going to get a couple dozen boards from Top Lot at the FTA this august. BUT my son is branching out from muskrats and scraped and boarded his first raccoon and red fox last night. He has 2 adjustable coon stretchers and a neighbor guy gave him 8 wire stretchers. We were going to use the wire just so he could keep practicing his fur handling. And man our list of stuff to get at the FTA is getting long. I might need a couple more OT weekends Last edited by sigpros; 01/06/26 04:51 PM.

I’ve tried putting a pic of his first one up on here but I can never get pics to load in this site.
