Our hunting group here in Iowa takes alot of deer every year through all the seasons. This year we ended up with 31 hides at the end of the year. My question is what is the best way to keep those hides in good shape until the end of the season when we sell them? Is freezing them the best, and is there something that should be done to them before they are frozen. It is hard to find someone closeby to sell them to during the season so we usually try to keep everything until the end and sell them all at once.

Thanks,
Dan

As soon as we skin ours we salt them down good and roll them up. Try not to fold them cuz that will leave lines. Then you can freeze them if it's not cold enough outside to let them sit.
