Can i freeze them after? My trapping supplies were at a relatives while I moved, cousins decided to use my wood stretchers for firewood. Wondering if I can freeze fleshed pelts until I can acquire new stretchers, or would I be better off skinning, freezing, and waiting to flesh until I get new boards?

If you are going to have to wait a long time to get your stretchers, wait to flesh. If you know they are coming in the near future and want to work ahead a little, you shouldn't have any problems.
