after you flesh stretch and dry how do you store it? can you just keep them in a bag and they wont rot or outside in a shed?or would freezing them flat fur side in be the best way?

I usually just take mine and pull a wire through the eye and leave them hang until ready to sell. I keep them seperated by species as well. they make nice hangers that look like an industrial coat hanger for this as well. I just string a piece of wire from the rafters in my garage.

Hang them up with a hanger or on a wire from your shed. Don't bag them until ready to ship or sell to your buyer. That way you can see any grease thats still bleeds out of the pelt and wipe it off.
