I don't anticipate trapping a lot of otter so I don't that it's worth it to get a board to stretch it. Is a #4 wire adequate to stretch it? I want to make sure I'm set up before I thaw it and flesh it. I've looked around and can not find the NAFA dimensions for otter. If somebody cound post that, I'd appreciate it.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
