What my chances that I can get it to fold and go into a bag for freezing? Will I have to rehydrate it a bit? WHO MADE THIS MESS ALL OVER MY FLOOR THE MUDTRACKER WAS HERE HE HE HE

I think you taking a risk of rehydrating. IMO www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

I think you taking a risk of rehydrating. IMO Yep. Lots of fur slippage happens when furs are left in the rehydration bath too long if no precautions are taken. Cant imagine a mink not fitting in a freezer unless it's a Louisiana mink or demi mink or your freezer is packed. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

Home tan it and be done with it, if the bugs haven't ate it. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."
