Can I just roll them up grease side in, and then put them in a regular walmart plastic bag? Then freeze it? THanks

I have a freezer that is dedicated to fur only so I don't put mine in anything, lay it flat with the face and tail folded under.

No need to roll it up, just toss it in the freezer.

I double bag mine with walmart bags because there is also food in the freezer. My coon are mostly too big for the gallon ziplock bags but the other furs go in them.

Just lay them flat in the freezer without any flesh exposed. If you roll them they will take a lot longer to thaw, and may potentially cause spoilage.

Cardboard seems to soak up grease and moisture, would it be a good idea to put a layer of cardboard in-between each fur that is lain grease-side out?

I have to put it in something. Because if the wife finds out I am doing this is the bottom of our freezer, I'll get it! Let me know more if you guys got some to share.

cardfboar or paper sacks work good, dont roll em cuz it takes forever to thaw.
question, are you fleshhing em or selling em skinned?
id lay em flat w/ newspaper or cardboard inbetween and hust lay em flat,especially if your sellin em skinned, you could take em out the nite before and sell.

this is my first year. I have not sold any yet. And I am not sure how I should sell them. It took me forever to flesh them. Someone told me that it may not be worth my time to flesh them. Jusyt sell them with grease on...
