Stretching Coons
« on: November 16, 2003, 05:00:40 AM »
My buddy looked at my coons that I put up, and he said they looked good, but they were to wide. I read not to overstretch coons as it will make the fur look thinner. I stretched them on wire. I've got three coons put up now and they are 28, 27, and 21 inches from nose to base of tail. At the base of the tail they are all from 9 to 9 1/2 inches wide. Is this too wide?
