I was looking in the archives with no success, for a post a while back about putting Muskrats up on wooden stretchers. There was maybe 40 to 50 post to this thread, if anybody still has it or knows where it is in the archives please let me know. Also looking for a gentleman from Wisconsin I believe who makes Rat stretchers, or anybody who has put a significant amount of rats up on boards that would have somebody in mind I could contact about picking a couple doz up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!
