Anybody got a pic of a mink on a wire stretcher - 12/27/20 11:24 PM
On it or finished? I just want to see what it looks like because I am planning on using wire since it’s all I got. Also curious on the tail for mink on wire

They look horrible on wire but if that is all you have use it. I would get a few wooden stretchers for next year if you are going to trap for mink again.

You can tack the mink tail on a piece of heavy cardboard to help it dry.
But as Computer Hater said - wood is very much preferred for mink. It helps to get them the proper shape. Wire stretchers mink mink too wide, IMO.
You should be able to pick up some good used ranch mink boards at your state convention. In fact, if you go to the convention, I might be able to arrange a couple of free mink boards for you.

Even cutting some out of paneling would be better then wire.

With the price of mink these days does it even matter?

Matters even more-a 50 cent downgrade might be 50%
