[QUOTE="bigtex, post: 4117451, member: 2245"] They will freezer burn in time. Length of time depends on how well they are sealed. When I was doing taxidermy it always pissed me off when someone would bring in a deer head that they claimed was killed recently. It doesn't take long to find out that it's been in the freezer for over a year. The ears are the first thing that freezer burns [dries out] which makes turning them harder without busting them. It can be done but I always refused to mount anything that was much over a year old. If you just want to tan them it is still doable. You say "cleaned" does that mean they've been washed or have they been fleshed? If they've been fleshed and shaved they should still be ok. [/QUOTE]
