Caught my first otter and was wondering if I can freeze it along with the beaver skins Ive been freezing to flesh all together at a later date. I imagine its fine, but would just like to hear it from someone who has done it before? Still have to make a stretcher as well. Also, in montana we have to provide the lower jaw for data collection? Will i be able to get it back, or is it gone? Thanks

They are probably collecting the teeth for dna and age samples. Who is John Galt? You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your training. Semper Paratus
