How come you can just leave the quil in the pods and store them in the in a glass jar in the freezer?

Several reasons I do different things at different times with them.

Pods don’t stink poking the pod stinks so poke as many at one time as you can stink once.

I freeze the pods and tap them when I have enough to make it worth while no need to stink every day and the syringes get sticky.So today I used 2 35ml syringes if I did a pod every time I get a skunk I’d go through several when it was over.

If you leave them in the freezer too long they freezer burn and crust over tapping them can be a problem the cut angle of the needle will sometimes leak pushing it through the dry pods.

By removing the pods the pelts safe if it didn’t spray the bomb is defused. Pods don’t stink so handling them is no problem.

By removing then milking the pods with a “love you long time massaging” you get the most out of the pods it adds up. Pods have a value in the lure market.
