That is a nice bunch of fur you have. Good job catching it. You really don't have to bag fur in a freezer. I have held fur for 3 years in chest freezers. The fur was all put up fur. None of it looked any different 3 years later./ It won't turn yellow in the freezer. Yellow is the hide oxidizing from grease burn generally. Furs don't grease burn if handled correct, if they are held in a freezer. If they was held out of the freezer for several months before putting in the freezer, then the process has already started.

It was a ton of fun. Looking back on pics like this years from now will remind me of all the good memories shared with family and friends.

Very bad idea!! Might as well toss it now. Smart folks learn from others mistakes, not their own. Learn from knowledgeable people on this thread.

Boy you really piled up the greys. Is that from mostly trapping or calling?

Clint Locklear has a radio show on how he stores fur and he vacuum seals it and leaves it in a spare room with an account unit set on 60. I have sealed coon and left them for a year and they didn't look any different then my fresh coon.

I know vacuum sealed fish stored will rot if not refrigerated but salted fish are stored without refrigeration even in the Carribean Islands.

Yes, but they ferment.
I think it would be safer to NOT seal them in plastic. Just my opinion.

It's about half called and half trapped.
