My question is, what size and brand of stretchers should I get to put our west Texas coyotes, bobcats and grey fox on? I don't plan on selling them but would like to stretch and dry them in order to later get them tanned and to practice in case I ever do get to the point of selling a few.
In order to not get the thread off subject, feel free to PM me if you would like. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Thank you oneeye and wytx. I will look into them. Moyle is the tannery that I was thinking about using as well. Do yall think that the stretchers will be close enough to the same size for our fur bearers down here as they are for up there? I was under the impression that the fur bearers up north were bigger than here. Thanks again!

They should work fine. The adjustable ones have a width adjustment and the length will not matter.
Moyle is all we use for tanning, they do great work but it will need to air out, tanning smell but it dissipates. Nice soft tan that looks and feels great.
You can always email Top Lot and ask, great folks as mentioned.

But overall I was happy to catch him again and not have a dog running around with a trap in its foot.

Leaving them out until they catch or get washed out

I’ve been killing a bunch of coyotes with m44s but they aren’t much to look at by the time I find em. I don’t snare much on the predator control jobs but this creek crossing was perfect, so I had to do it. This Ol coyote was caught just n/w of Huntsville, they sure have some good color in that area.
