Dan,

My dad's neighbor has an upright freezer that she never uses. She was nice enough to plug it in for me. As soon as the cape came off, I folded it hide to hide, hair to hair, and put it in the freezer. No salt. I figured that way the taxidermist can just unthaw it and pick up where I left off.

I should be able to take it to him in a couple days.

Thanks again for the help. It really came in handy.
