Went back out hunting this afternoon without my fiance, she was too tired from gettin up and going hunting this morning. Took a real nice fox squirrel about 30 minutes after gettin in thw woods. I saw a squirrel bouncing through the tree tops that looked black. I set close and waited for like an hour and a half and then i saw it coming up through the woods about 25 yards away. When it stopped i fired off the old Stevens 20 gauge and it ran about 10 feet and piled up. It was a pretty big squirrel, its head, legs, belly and sides were jet black. Its back was really dark grey with black mixed in and its tail was the same as a regular fox squirrel only with black hairs all through it. I wrapped it up tight in bags and put it in the freezer i want to get it mounted.

How long can it stay in the freezer frozen until i have to take it too the taxidermist? Ive never killed anything worth mounting before so im not sure how to go about preserving it. I just put it in there as is, i didnt gut it or anything just put it in a bunch of plastic bags and wrapped it tight and taped it shut.
