Tools have arrived! I love this, when I was a kid I got to run around a few times with my shop teacher on his trap line. He taught us a bit about fleshing and stretching furs right there in the wood shop. After the ban of body grippers I thought trapping had basically died until I found this forum and realized you guys were still going and doing very well with the cage traps and seeing everyone's success inspired me to give it a go and I'm glad i did, keeps me busy all winter. Any how got lots to learn yet, but a heres a pic of the muskrats on the stretchers. Feel free to criticize if you see something I need to do differently. I'm gonna order a DVD on fur processing soon until then y'all can expect plenty more questions from the rookie.

Nothing really wrong but on the wire stretchers a lot of guys put clothes pins  on the sides at the legs to hold the sides down. It can gain you a size which puts a few extra bucks in your pocket.

I agree. If you look at the first pic I posted under the thread "the fur shed" you will see what humptulips is talking about.

In my opinion , 'rats look and feel much better if their put up on wood. I use bass wood stretchers that I bought from Blue Ridge trapping supply.
