Those look to be push pins? I use finish nails so you can pull the pelt away from the board. It aids in drying and doesn't allow for growth of organisms. (Bacteria, etc.)
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

Voting for Democrats is prima facie evidence you are a skirt wearing, low T, beta male. Do better.

Really it looks fine. I would use nails though. IMO it is a waste of time to raise the pelt up on the nail however I do like to have the fur dry before stretching.
Couple things I do different: I cut the lips and nose off, just stretch them out past your circle but nail at the line and trim off the excess when you are done.
I never pin the front legs but that is just me. A lot of guys do that.
And I cut the ears off. Dries a lot faster with them gone and they are going to whack them at the tannery anyway.

Buy brights. They are easier on your fingers then galvanized.
And buy big enough ones so they are easy to grip.
