Skin Freezing Question!

Submitted by Shon on 3/31/02. ( s_morg@hotmail.com ) 205.188.209.168

I have a question-I have a few squirrels in the freezer but I did not take measurements. The are wrapped in saran wrap twice and then covered in foil. My question is can I unwrap a squirrel, then measure it, and then bag it back up and put it back in the freezer until the supplies and the mannakin come (will it get reezer burn?)
Thanks for any help.

Hi Shon, You can thaw out your squirrels, take your measurements, and then proceed to skin the squirrels while they are thawed out. If you want you can refreeze the squirrel skins in plastic and you should not have a problem. You could also flesh them out and salt and dry them if you plan on tanning them . Once you get your forms, have some fun mounting. Good luck.
