coyote streching dimensions

[hammerless99]

I will start trying my hand at Maine coyote hunting this winter; what are good dimensions for wood stretching boards for these critters. I don't have much money to start out with but I do have some #3 1X pine. If I had a lenth from nose to shoulder (then a width at that point) and then an overall length with the width that would be most appreciated.

I make my own adjustable coyote strechers with 2 five and a half foot 1x4s side by side and taper the top from about 1 3/4 inches to full width at 14 inches down in a rounded fasion, at the bottom I fasten another 1x4 18 inches solid on one end with one 1/4 inch bolt, other half I cut a grouve for adjustment bolt and wing nut, at the top a 3 inch leather strap nailed on holds the top together. I let each coyote dictate its own size w/o over streching. My buyer is always happy with the fur put up on these. Jeff
