No stretchers

Hello, I was wondering what I should do if I run out of stretchers for a pelt. Should I freeze it, salt it? Thanks in advance

Stretchers?

Noel;
What are you using the stretchers for? You don't need to put the hides on stretchers, unless your going to sell the hides to a fur buyer. Then it's a big no-no to salt them. Since fur buyers want aired dryed skins. If this is the case, freeze them until you have more stretchers.

Thanks a lot coyote, I sell my hides. Im not mounting anything but I seriously would like to get into taxidermy some day. I came here and needed some help and I can always trust a taxidermist. Thanks again
