Can they cause my fur any problems? If so what do I do about it? What do yal do with your fur once it is dry? Put it on hangers? Put it in the freezer? It will probably be another 1 1/2 months till I send my fur off. How should I care for it till then. And I also understand some of yal rub stuff on the furs to make them more presentable(I.E. WD-40 on beaver) What are some of the stuff yal put on your fur and what furs do you put them on and more importantly are there fur that you do not treat with chemicals? Any info yal can give is greatly appreciated. Thank's, Brad If the only dog you can hear in the hunt is your's, your probably missing the best part of the race.

This is the worst year I have seen in a while. One day it is hot the next it is freezing cold. Can not make up its mind. I have had the same thing in my shed, but the only thing they were after was the yote pelts. Everything else was fine.
