how long do they need to be on the stretcher? 5 days in a dry 55-60 degrees with a fan blowing on them good enough?

Coons get boarded fur in and stay that way. You do not turn coons, at least from my experience. If I have my coons on boards and the temp is 65 degrees I find a week is sufficient for say an average 2xxl-3xxl type heavy or semi heavy coon. I usually feel the tail and the tail head area right at the base of the tail. That is about the last area I find that dries. If that is still pliable or soft you may want to leave the pelt on till that dries. From past experience when I use wire the pelts dried a day or so faster for me.

Google NAFA or FHA they will have links that can tell you which pelts are finished fur out.
