I have a fox fleshed that I put on a board and is frozen, I am thinking of thawing then soaking it and re boarding it would be the best idea. Any input or suggestions? Anything that is already dried and off of boards should be fine or should I move them somewhere else?

I just put some marten outside last night to freeze to stop them from drying so I could go to bed. Brought them in this morning so they could finish drying and I can turn them now. Unless it is blowing outside fur takes a looooong time to freeze dry. Your fox would take days to dry frozen. Who is John Galt?
